Spicy Mung Bean Sprouts Salad (Maewoon Sukju Namul)

Spicy Mung Bean Sprouts is a Korean Inspired side dish of bean sprouts and spring onions dressed in rice vinegar, gochujang and sesame oil

Spicy Mung Bean Sprouts is a dish inspired by the Korean recipe called Maewoon Sukju Namul or Spicy Mung Bean Sprouts Salad. The Korean dish is usually a simple blanched mung bean sprouts dressed in rice vinegar, gochujang and sesame oil but I honestly don’t like the taste of a non-fully cooked bean sprouts so for our recipe today we will be stir frying them like how the Japanese do it. We also added extra ingredients like carrots and garlic to give it more taste and texture.

It is a simple dish, quick to prepare which is good for those lazy week nights where you can just pan fry some thinly sliced steaks and pair it with this. It adds so much life to the any boring and simple dish, try it and taste it for yourself.
