Korean Food: Mung Bean Sprout Side-dish (숙주 나물) Recipe Video

This is a healthy Korean side dish made with mung bean sprouts. It is similar with the bean sprout side dish (Kong NaMul); however, mung bean sprouts are more perishable than other vegetables, so it is best to eat this dish right after you make it. You can keep it in the refrigerator for a day or two. Since it will get a lot of water after you make this dish, it is important to add salt and set it aside for sometime, and squeeze the water out later.
