Funchoza (Russian: фунчоза; Korean: 푼초자) or salat funchoza (салат фунчоза; 살라트 푼초자; lit. 'cellophane noodle salad') is a dish in Koryo-saram cuisine. It is a variant of the Korean dish japchae, created by the Koryo-saram: a group of the Korean diaspora of the former Soviet Union.
The dish, along with Korean and Koryo-saram cuisine in general, has achieved popularity in Uzbekistan, where there is a relatively high concentration of Koryo-saram.
