Also called Bean sprout (young, sprouted mung beans) 'Muchim', lightly cooked then seasoned bean sprouts is a popular side dish all over Korea. You may have come across a variety of this dish as a banchan(side dish) at a Korean BBQ restaurant or topped in a Bibimbap. We are excited to try this version with gamtae and vinegar shared by our partner Badasoop.
