Kim Dae-seok's Crispy Bean Sprout Rice

Boil bean sprouts separately to preserve their crisp texture, then cook rice using the blanching water for a rich, savory flavor—deep and satisfying bean sprout rice.

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Rinsing the blanched bean sprouts under cold water immediately after boiling helps them contract slightly, preserving their crisp texture for longer.
  • Cooking rice without soaking it beforehand ensures the grains stay firm and fluffy rather than becoming mushy.
  • Using the bean sprout blanching water as cooking liquid infuses the rice with a deep, savory aroma and subtle umami flavor throughout, even without additional broth.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a quick yet impressive standalone meal on days without side dishes.
  • People who want to enjoy fresh, crunchy, lively bean sprouts instead of soft, chewy ones.
  • Those craving the harmonious taste of fragrant shiitake mushrooms and rich, savory bean sprout broth in every bite.
