This salad is called angel noodle salad in Korea. Wow, “angel noodles.” That’s an interesting name, isn’t it? 
I don’t know exactly where the name came from, but I guess maybe the clear noodles and white mayo sauce gives it an image of angel? Or, maybe it is because they have such a unique feeling when chewing them, that it could be compared to the unique feeling we would get meeting an angel in a dream? hehe Well, whatever the reason is, when I tried angel food cake for the first time in America, it reminded me of this Korean food. Oh wait, of course I’m not talking about the taste, just the name. 
This noodle is made from seaweed jelly (kelp), and is a low calorie food. If you reduce the amount of mayo or skip it, then it could be a good diet food. Also, it could be good as an appetizer for a party.
Main Ingredients:
- 2 Cups Seaweed Jelly Noodles (CheonSaChae)
- ⅛ Carrot
- ¼ Onion
- ⅓ Cucumber
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 5 to 6 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- 1 Tbsp Brown Rice Vinegar or Apple Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
Yield: 1 Quart
Cut the onion, carrot, and cucumber thinly.
In the boiling water, cook the noodles for 15 seconds.
Drain the water. Right after draining water, add 1 Tbsp of vinegar, 1 Tbsp of sugar, and ½ tsp of salt.
Mix well and set them aside for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, in cold water, add the chopped onions and 2 drops of vinegar. Set it aside for 10 minutes. This way will help reduce the strong onion flavor a little.
After 10 minutes, drain the water. Remove the left over water with a paper towel.
After 20 minutes, drain the liquid from the noodles.
Combine the noodles, all of the vegetables, and 5 to 6 Tbsp of mayonnaise.
Mix well. Add 1 Tbsp of sugar. Depending on your taste, you can adjust the amount of the sugar.
Enjoy!!! 
Hi Aeri… i’ve been following your video in Youtube, All the korean cooking are my favorite. Especially this Angel noodle salad. I tired once in a restaurant, is one of the banchan, and i LOVE it.
Sad to say.. my place (Penang, Malaysia) doesn’t have any Korean supermarket, hence, for me to get this ingredient is kinda hard.
Anyway… thanks for teaching those mouth watering dish… and God Bless

Hi, layping
If you really really want to try Korean mayo, nobody can block you though..;) hehe thanks !!
I used American mayo.. before my sister in law bought a Korean mayo .. (Since I tempted her to buy..it’s good ..it’s good..like this..hehe) and she didn’t like it..oops..and at the end she gave it to me.. (I didn’t do that on purpose …trust me..:) anyway.. she said.. it has stronger egg flavor ?? anyway..stornger flavor.. so I guess… you don’t have to buy a Korean mayo for this..just use American one you already have..
hmm, interesting….angel hair. very well, will include this for my xmas dinner too. why not, it’s angel’s hair afterall. hee,hee!
Hi, layping
I like the name..angel hair ~~~ Thanks!!
