How to Make Korean Bean Sprouts
- Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 1 pound of bean sprouts and cook for 5 minutes.
- Immediately drain the bean sprouts in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly.
- Return the drained bean sprouts to the pot or a large bowl.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste), 2 tablespoons chopped green onions, and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste.
- Gently toss to combine and simmer for 2 minutes, or until heated through. If using a pot, make sure to stir occasionally to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately, hot or cold. Garnish with extra sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
