Ingredients

250 g kongnamul soybean sprouts
8 medium size dried anchovies, for broth
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced or minced
1 spring onion, chopped
SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste
6 cups of water

Directions

In a medium size pot, bring 6 cups of water with the anchovies and garlic to a boil, uncovered. Reduce the heat to medium high and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove the anchovies and garlic from the broth.
Rinse the soybean sprouts a couple of times, discarding any skins floating.
Add the bean sprouts and 1 teaspoon of SIDS SALT & PEPPER and boil, covered, for 4-5 minutes over medium high heat. Do not open the lid while the bean sprouts are being cooked, or the raw bean smell will linger even after cooked. Once kongnamul is cooked, season with SIDS SALT & PEPPER to taste. The amount of salt needed at this point will depend on your salt and taste. Add the spring onion and serve.
