It enjoys great popularity among Koreans, who never seem to tire of it.  \n\n\n\nMade with mung beans, this banchan is quick and easy to prepare, and the ingredients can be found everywhere. \n\n\n\nIt is part of the traditional bibimbap\n\n\n\nThis simplicity hides notable nutritional richness. Bean sprouts are an excellent source of plant-based proteins, fiber, and vitamins, especially vitamin C and folate. They also contain beneficial antioxidants. Kongnamul-muchim, often seasoned with sesame oil, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, and sometimes a touch of chili for those who enjoy spiciness, is a dish that combines well-being and gustatory pleasure.   \n\n\n\nThis Namul perfectly illustrates the Korean philosophy that aims to find a balance between flavors and nutritional benefits of foods. In Korea, the act of eating is perceived not only as a need but also as a form of self-care, where each food has its role to play for the well-being of body and mind. \n\n\n\nIt perfectly accompanies my bulgogi recipe\n\n\n\nKongnamul-muchim also stands out for its versatility. It can be served hot or cold, depending on preferences or the season. This flexibility makes it a staple of Korean tables, whether for a daily family meal or for a special occasion.   \n\n\n\nIt is not uncommon to find it in lunch boxes (dosirak) for its ability to harmoniously complement a wide range of main dishes, such as the classic Bulgogi or to add a fresh note to tteokbokki or even as an accompaniment to samgyetang\n\n\n\n\n\n\tKorean Mung Bean Sprout Salad - Kongnamul Muchim\n\t\t\n\t\tMade with just a few ingredients, this Korean mung bean sprout salad is perfect to accompany all your Asian dishes, from bibimbap to beef with onions\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\t350 g mung bean sprouts (Fresh)1 teaspoon saltWater for boilingSauce1 teaspoon young onions (Finely chopped)0.5 teaspoon garlic (Finely chopped)0.5 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon of sesame seeds (Black)1 tablespoon of sesame oil\t\n\t\n\t\tIn a bowl, mix the sauce ingredientsRinse the bean sprouts and bring the water to a boil with the salt.Plunge the sprouts in for 1-2 minutes, then rinse with cold water.Drain, press to remove excess water, and mix with the bean sprout sauce.\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\n\t\tSide dishKoreanHuile de s\u00e9same, Sans sucre, V\u00e9g\u00e9tarienne","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24817"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/marcwiner.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
