- 1 pound soybean sprouts
- Water
- 2 green onions, thinly chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, crushed
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 to 2 teaspoons chili powder
- Wash the bean sprouts in cold water, removing any bean husks. Place them in a pot and add about 1 cup water. Do not fill the pot. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes. (Do not lift the lid to check if the pot is boiling because an unpleasant, fishy odor will fill your kitchen.) Remove from heat, rinse in cold water, and drain.
- Add green onions, garlic, toasted sesame seeds, sesame oil, salt, and chili powder and combine thoroughly, adjusting the salt and chili powder to your taste. Serve warm or chilled.
