Korean Soybean Sprouts

March 22, 2020 By Jennings Leave a Comment

I love Korean food, and one of my favorite things is all the delicious bites they bring you before the food arrives – kimchi and soybeans and pickled cucumbers and other yummy things. I especially like the bean sprouts, so when I found this recipe, I was pretty excited! (There is also a recipe for spicy soybean sprouts on the original post, which I am not reviewing here — but if you’re interested, check it out.)

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 lb. Blenched soybean sprouts (I used mung bean sprouts)
  • 1 tsp. Coarse sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Sugar
  • 2 tsp. Sesame oil
  • 1/8 tsp. Black pepper
  • 1 tsp. Toasted sesame seeds, crushed with fingers (I didn’t have)
  • 1 Clove garlic, minced (approximately 1 tsp.) (I crushed mine)
  • 1 Green onion, chopped (approximately 1 Tbs.)

Bring a pot of water (the post says 10-12 cups, but you don’t need near that much – you just need enough to cover the sprouts) with 1 tbsp salt. When it boils, add the sprouts and cover. Boil for 4 minutes, then turn off the heat and let sit for 1 minute.

Drain the bean sprouts and rinse in cold water until they aren’t warm anymore. Drain well – I used a paper towel to help blot the water faster.

Mix the remaining ingredients in a bowl, stir in the sprouts. (The original post says with your hands… I used a spoon!) Top with sesame seeds.

RP Servings: 4 as a side

RATING: 2

These were so salty that I literally couldn’t eat them. I tried adding more sugar, but it didn’t help and I threw it away. So… as written, a 2 is generous. I do think it’s probably pretty ok, if the salt is kept in check. I added a little gochujang to mine to give it a little zip (but not full on “spicy”) – which I think is a good idea except I couldn’t eat it. I might try it again because I do like this dish when it’s made right. But maybe I’ll just get them at Seoul Garden!

Coffee Protein Shake

I’m not gonna lie… I’m kind of skeptical about this one from the get-go. But I drink protein shakes almost daily, and I usually make them exactly the same. Something to add to my rotation would be nice. So… we’ll see! INGREDIENTS: 2 cups ice 3/4 cup milk (regular, almond, soy, etc) 1 cup cold…

Copycat Carabas Bread Dip

To be honest, I haven’t been to Carabas in a long time, since I found out I had celiac, probably. But I do remember their bread dip, and my husband often dips his bread into an olive oil/spice blend, so I thought this recipe would be worth a try. INGREDIENTS 2 tbsp. chopped Italian flat…
