Easy Bean Sprout Namul
- 1 bag Soybean sprouts (or regular bean sprouts)
- 1 dash Salt, pepper (for boiling the bean sprouts)
- 1 pinch Garlic (grated)
- 1 small amount Finely chopped green onion
- 1/3 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Sugar (castor sugar)
- 1 dash Roasted sesame seeds
- 1 dash Sesame oil
- Put the bean sprouts in a pan with enough water to cover them, plus salt (1 teaspoon) and pepper (1/2 teaspoon).
- Boil over high heat.
- Turn the heat off 2 to 3 minutes after the water comes to a boil, and strain the bean sprouts into a colander.
- If you stop cooking the soy bean sprouts too soon, they'll smell somewhat raw.
- On the other hand if you cook them for too long you'll lose their crispy texture, so be careful here!
- (The smell of the boiling water will change once the beans have cooked properly.)
- Once you drain the bean sprouts into a colander, add the grated garlic immediately and mix quickly.
- Crush the grated garlic with your fingers as you add it so that it doesn't clump.
- The garlic will get cooked a little with the residual heat, so while the garlic aroma will remain, the taste won't be so harsh.
- Spread the bean sprouts out so that there's a well in the middle of the colander.
- Leave until the sprouts have completely cooled.
- Mix all the flavoring ingredients except for the sesame oil in a bowl with the bean sprouts.
- You can add a shake of pepper here too.
- The sugar is a "secret" ingredient.
- You can leave it out if you like.
- Start by adding 2 to 3 pinches of salt.
- Mix and taste, and add more a pinch at a time if you think it's needed.
- This way you can season properly and not mess up.
- Add a little sesame oil and mix it in to finish.
- Done!
