Cooking tips

  • Never cover the pot from start to finish—this ensures the characteristic fishy smell of soybean sprouts is completely eliminated while preserving their crisp texture.
  • The key to deep flavor lies in gently frying the chili oil and minced garlic over medium-low heat to create rich garlic-infused oil at the beginning.
  • Use exactly 1 tablespoon of sugar, levelled off—this prevents excessive sweetness and keeps the taste sharp and balanced.
  • This soybean sprout stew tastes excellent even when chilled, as the seasoning fully penetrates the sprouts without separating, making it an ideal side dish.

Recommended for

  • Those who are tired of the same old soybean sprout salad and want to try something new for a side dish.
  • People who want to make a delicious, spicy, umami-rich side dish using affordable soybean sprouts.
  • Fans of dishes that combine a crisp texture with a harmonious blend of spicy, sweet, and salty flavors.
