1 1/2 gallons water

1/2 cup (???) salt, or as needed

1 1/2 lbs bean sprouts

1 Tbsp gochugaru

1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil

1 garlic clove, minced

Blanch for 1 minute. Transfer to a colander to drain. Spread out and let air dry until cool, 5-10 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl. Add gochugaru, sesame oil, and garlic, and mix well. Add a pinch of salt, if desired. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours to chill and marinate before serving.
Keeps 2-3 days. Spoiled bean sprouts are gray in color and have no flavor.
