Japchae noodles clumping together

Loosen the noodles gently and distribute the dressing. Pulling a cold knot apart forcefully can break the noodles.

What to try

Separate vegetable and noodle clumps with tongs rather than chopping through them.
Warm gently with a small splash of water if they have dried; add more only as needed.
Toss the sauce through in stages, then taste before adding extra soy sauce.

Make a small adjustment, then check the result before changing the whole batch.
