[Simple Home Cooking] 'How to cook Baek Jong-won's soybean sprout soup'

If you are looking for a simple way to cook at home, pay attention to how to make soybean sprout soup. Soybean sprout soup is a soup dish you can make when you have no side dishes. We introduce Baek Jong-won's way of cooking soybean sprout soup.

*Soybean sprout soup ingredients: one bag of soybean sprouts, a handful of anchovies, a little kelp, a little Cheongyang chili pepper, 1 tablespoon of sliced green onion, 1/2 tablespoon of saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), 1/2 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of soup soy sauce, a little salt

1. Make broth by boiling anchovies and kelp for 10 minutes. (The longer the broth is boiled over low heat, the deeper the flavor becomes.)

2. Add cleaned and trimmed soybean sprouts to the broth and bring to a boil.

3. Once it boils, add the minced garlic, saeujeot (salted fermented shrimp), soup soy sauce, and salt and continue boiling, then finish by adding the sliced green onion and Cheongyang chili pepper.

*Soybean sprout rice ingredients: two handfuls of soybean sprouts, rice, 8 tablespoons of brewed soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of red chili powder, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a little coarse salt, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 1/2 tablespoon of ground sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons of minced green onion

1. Blanch the soybean sprouts in boiling water with coarse salt for 5 minutes.

2. Make a seasoning sauce by mixing brewed soy sauce, red chili powder, minced garlic, sugar, sesame oil, ground sesame seeds, and minced green onion.

3. After washing the rice, put it in an electric rice cooker, place the blanched soybean sprouts on top of the rice, and press the cook button. (Since moisture will be released from the soybean sprouts, it is important to add less water than usual.)

4. Once cooking is complete, transfer to a bowl and finish by topping with the seasoning sauce.
