Sesame-Pepper Bean Sprouts

This vibrant sesame-pepper bean sprouts recipe offers a masterclass in clean, bright flavours. A staple of Korean-inspired vegan cooking, the mung bean sprouts are lightly blanched to maintain their delicate texture before being dressed in nutty toasted sesame oil and a savoury seed seasoning. The addition of gochugaru provides a subtle, smoky warmth that perfectly complements the earthy notes of the sesame.

Enjoy this versatile dish as a refreshing side or as a traditional component of a colourful Bibimbap bowl. It is naturally healthy, low in calories, and provides a wonderful crunch that balances richer mains. For the best flavour, ensure you drain the sprouts well after boiling to prevent the dressing from becoming diluted.
