- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Sesame seeds to taste
- Perilla oil (deulgireum) to taste
- Herb salt to taste

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the main ingredient, mung bean sprouts, by washing them thoroughly. Slice the bell pepper thinly after removing the seeds, and finely chop the green onion. Preparing the vegetables like this will make cooking much smoother.
Step 2
In a wide pan, add 3 tablespoons of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling vigorously, add the prepared mung bean sprouts. Sprinkle with herb salt to season evenly. It’s important to stir-fry briefly without covering the pan to maintain the sprouts’ crispiness.
Step 3
As the mung bean sprouts begin to wilt slightly, add the sliced bell pepper and chopped green onion. Quickly mix them together. The key is to stir-fry over high heat to keep the fresh colors of the vegetables vibrant. Once the vegetables are lightly cooked, turn off the heat immediately.
Step 4
Now it’s time to add the flavor! To the stir-fried sprouts, add the red pepper flakes, soybean paste, and sugar. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined. The soybean paste adds a savory depth and umami flavor, while the sugar gently balances the overall taste.
Step 5
Finally, generously sprinkle with sesame seeds for ultimate nuttiness, and drizzle with perilla oil for a fragrant aroma. Give it a final light toss to ensure the seasonings coat the sprouts well. Your delicious stir-fried mung bean sprouts are ready! Serve over warm rice for a delightful meal.
