When I made ‘Soybean Sprouts Namul’ using the ordinary Bean Sprouts, I found it was lacking something. I added Soy Sauce and Toban Djan (Chilli Bean Sauce) to make its flavour stronger. Do not over cook Bean Sprouts. They should stay quite crunchy.

I made these as a side dish today! I didn’t read the recipe very carefully and accidentally added 2 tablespoons of doubanjiang resulting in very spicy, yet delicious beansprouts… Will definitely make these again since even with the triple spiciness they were a hit with me and my boyfriend.
I really love your recipes because you seem to somehow always use ingredients that I already have or that are easily available to me! I especially like everything that uses doubanjiang as I always have a jar of it but otherwise wouldn’t use it for much else than mapo tofu.

My husband doesn’t enjoy very spicy food. If for my daughter and myself, I would easily add 1 tablespoon Toban Djan. If you like spicy food, you can add as much as you like. I don’t have fresh Chilli for always, Toban Djan and Garlic Chilli Sauce are so handy to have in the fridge.
