Hi guys!

I’m having so much fun in Korea, and finally uploading a new video/recipe! 😀

I noticed a lot of you guys would love to know more banchan(Korean side dish) recipes and here is one more for you!! I’ve been sharing really popular and common ones but one day I would love to share some crazy stuff too! 😉 lol

Today I’m showing you how to make Korean style soybean sprouts side dish.
Every family/restaurant has different ways to make this dish, like any other banchans are. So today, I’m sharing how I make it, but feel free to make your own! 😉

I personally love spicy one, but classic one is what the most common one though.

This is great for bibimbap or as a side dish for Korean BBQ!

Also the classic one is served with main spicy dish, because it’s very mild and can calm your spiciness down. 😉

So, give this recipe a try one day!
