Korean vegetable salad series No.1 - Bean sprout salad

Korean eats a lot of vegetables during meal.
Of course, there are much vegetables in Miditerranean food.
I watched a documentary about vegetables food a few years ago.
According to that documentary, Greek eat a lot of vegetables through raw salad with olive oil.
So, fat of olive oil is make Greek to be fat.
However, Koran salad is usually steamed(balanched) vegetable, so amount of vegetable intake is no. 1 in the world. Also, Korean do not use oil so much, just 1~2 table spoon, so it is fat free salad.
I will post vegetable salad in series from today, the 1st is first vegetable is bean sprout.
Bean sprout is loved by Koreans, especially, thirsty souls. It is basic ingredient for curing hangover due to aspartic acid.

Ingredient : Bean sprout(300g), green onion(30g), crushed garlic(10g), redpepper powder(10g), salted shrimp(2tea spoons) or salt(10g), sesame oil(1 tea spoon),

1. Put the washed bean sprout in the pot with salted shirmp.

 

You can use salt instead of salted shirmp.(this is fermented shrimp, so it make a food more deep and good taste!)

2. Pour 2 cups of water and close the lid of pot. Until boiled, you never open it. If so, bean sprout smells fish-like. How to cook bean sprout without smell are two ways; close & never open the lid and open & never close until boiled.

3. In the mixing bowl, put the crushed garlic, minced green onion, redpepper powder, sesame oil and boild bean sprout, and then mix them altogether.

4. You can omit redpepper powder, if you don't like it.

It is very easy recipe, just boiled beansprout with salt and mix it with garlic, green onion, redpepper powder! Try and enjoy Korean vegetable salad today!
