👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Prepare the sprouts: Rinse the soybean sprouts thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain them very well in a colander.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 2
Blanch the sprouts: Place the drained sprouts in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup of water. Cover the pot tightly with a lid. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to medium-low and let them steam for 8-10 minutes. The key is to keep the lid on throughout the cooking process to trap steam, which cooks the sprouts evenly and prevents them from becoming mushy. The sprouts should be tender but still have a slight bite (al dente).
⏱️ 8-10 minutes - 3
Drain and cool: Once cooked, immediately drain the sprouts in a colander. Gently shake the colander to remove excess water. Spread the sprouts on a plate or baking sheet to cool down for about 5 minutes. This step is crucial to prevent them from overcooking and to make them easier to handle.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Season the sprouts: In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled sprouts with the minced garlic, sliced scallions (reserving some for garnish), sesame oil, and salt. Gently toss everything together with your hands or two spoons until the sprouts are evenly coated with the seasonings. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Garnish and serve: Transfer the seasoned sprouts to a serving dish. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and the reserved sliced scallion greens. Serve immediately as a refreshing banchan alongside your favorite Korean meal.
