Korean boiled bean sprouts salads

These two types of salad are common side dishes in Korea.
Soy bean sprouts were the cheapest ingredients.
When I was growing up,
a spicy soy bean sprouts salad was always on the table.
I enjoyed the crunch of spicy bean sprouts.

Festive days and traditional party in Korea,
mung bean sprouts salad was always there for one of the side dish.

These are based on recipes by my mom who is 76 years old now.
If you like hot and spicy chilli taste, you could try spicy recipe.
But you don’t, try without chilli powder.
You can cook these two different types of recipes for both bean sprouts.
It is yummy with warm steamed rice.
