Recipe

Rinse the soybean sprouts thoroughly under running water, removing any skins and debris.
Bring water to a boil in a pot. With the lid open, add the soybean sprouts and blanch for 40 seconds to 2 minutes, depending on your preference.
Immediately transfer the blanched sprouts to cold water to cool, then drain in a colander.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soybean sprouts with 0.5 tablespoon salt, 0.5 tablespoon sesame oil, 0.5 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon gochugaru.
Gently toss until the seasoning is evenly distributed, then finish with a light sprinkle of crushed toasted sesame seeds.

Blanch the soybean sprouts in boiling water with the lid open for 40 seconds to 2 minutes, then cool in cold water.
Add salt, sesame oil, and sugar in a 1:1:1 ratio, along with minced garlic and gochugaru.
Gently toss to coat and serve.

Cooking tips

Blanching with the lid open prevents the characteristic off-odor of soybean sprouts.
For a crunchier texture, blanch for 40 seconds; for a softer texture, blanch for about 2 minutes.
