Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, carefully clean the bean sprouts. Remove any dirty or damaged heads or tails. Check if any stems are bruised. (If you prefer a crispier texture, removing the heads is recommended.)
Step 2
Fill a pot with plenty of water, add a pinch of salt for seasoning, then add the bean sprouts and boil for 5-6 minutes. To prevent a fishy smell, either keep the lid on from the start or keep it completely off while boiling. Cook until the bean sprouts are just wilted.
Step 3
Drain the boiled bean sprouts using a colander and rinse them briefly under cold water to cool them down. This step helps to make the bean sprouts extra crispy and keeps their fresh color.
Step 4
Now, let’s make the delicious sauce! In a bowl, combine 8 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp minced garlic, 1.5 Tbsp gochugaru, 1 Tbsp plum extract, 5 Tbsp water, 1 Tbsp sesame seeds, and a little chopped green onion. Mix everything well until thoroughly combined.
Step 5
Place a bowl of warm, freshly cooked rice into a serving bowl. Generously top the rice with the prepared, boiled bean sprouts. Arranging the bean sprouts attractively over the rice will make it look even more appetizing.
Step 6
Next, drizzle the prepared sauce over the bean sprouts and rice. It’s best to start with a moderate amount and add more gradually to your taste, rather than adding too much at once.
Step 7
Mix everything together with a spoon until well combined, and your delicious bean sprout rice is ready! For an extra touch of flavor, you can add a little sesame oil to your liking.
