Ingredients

• 450g mung bean sprouts (or grow your own mung bean sprouts)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp fish sauce
• ½ tsp kosher salt
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 tbs toasted sesame oil
• 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Methods

1. Blanch the mung bean sprouts: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the mung bean sprouts and blanch them for 1-2 minutes until they turn soft but still crisp. Be careful not to overcook them.
2. Drain and cool: Drain the sprouts immediately and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. Squeeze out excess water gently.
3. Prepare the seasoning: In a large bowl, combine the minced garlic, fish sauce, kosher salt, green onions, toasted sesame oil, and toasted sesame seeds.
4. Mix with sprouts: Add the blanched mung bean sprouts to the seasoning mixture. Toss everything together until the sprouts are evenly coated with the seasoning.
5. Serve: Transfer to a serving dish, and enjoy as a side dish with rice or other Korean dishes.

This refreshing and savory side dish is simple yet flavorful, perfect to pair with any meal!
