Cooking tips

  • Once you place the bean sprouts on top and cover the pan, do not open it until the 5-minute steaming is complete—this ensures no fishy odor and maintains crispness.
  • After adding the seasonings, avoid prolonged heating, as excessive moisture loss will make the bean sprouts tough; finish cooking within 1 minute at most.
  • Combining anchovy sauce and tuna sauce helps mask the raw scent of bean sprouts while creating a rich, balanced umami flavor.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a fresh twist on the usual boiled bean sprout salad.
  • People who want to enjoy both the satisfying crunch of fresh vegetables and the savory richness of fish cake in one dish.
  • Home cooks aiming to create a hearty, impressive side dish quickly and affordably.
