  • Category : Side dish
  • Ingredient Category : Vegetables
  • Occasion : Everyday
  • Cooking : Seasoned mix
  • Servings : 2 servings
  • Cooking Time : Within 30 minutes
  • Difficulty : Anyone

Ingredients

  • 200g bean sprouts
  • 3 imitation crab sticks
  • A little green onion
  • 0.5 Tbsp fish sauce
  • 0.5 Tbsp Yeondu (Korean soy sauce or all-purpose seasoning)
  • 2 pinches salt
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 pinch minced garlic

Cooking Instructions

Step 1

First, rinse the bean sprouts 2-3 times under running water. Place the rinsed bean sprouts in a pot and add about 1 cup of water, just enough to cover them slightly. Cover the pot with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Once it comes to a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it steam, covered, for another 2 minutes. This helps maintain their crispiness.

Step 1

Step 2

While the bean sprouts are cooking, finely mince the green onion. Shred the imitation crab sticks lengthwise into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

Step 3

Drain the cooked bean sprouts thoroughly using a colander. Gently toss them with chopsticks while they are still warm to help them cool down slightly. (Tip: Although the cooking water contains nutrients, if you prefer a less watery salad, draining them well like this will result in a cleaner dish.)

Step 3

Step 4

Once the bean sprouts have cooled down a bit, drizzle 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over them and toss to coat. Adding sesame oil first helps the flavor infuse better and makes them more fragrant.

Step 4

Step 5

Add the minced green onion and shredded imitation crab sticks to the bean sprouts. Season with 0.5 tablespoon of fish sauce, 0.5 tablespoon of Yeondu, 2 pinches of salt, and 1 pinch of minced garlic. Gently mix everything together with your hands until well combined. Your crunchy and delicious bean sprout and crab stick salad is ready!
