sprouts banchan

 

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
  2. Blanch the sprouts for 1 minute, stirring with a wooden spoon. Strain them and rinse in cold water in a large bowl for a couple of times. As you rinse them, shake them under the water so the skins fall into the bowl. Put the cleaned sprouts in a basket and strain well. 
  3. Combine garlic, green onion, fish sauce, kosher salt, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds in a bowl. Add the sprouts and mix by hand to season evenly.
  4. Transfer them to a serving bowl or plate. Serve warm or cold as a side dish. You can refrigerate them for up to 3 days.
