Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the 12 oz bean sprouts and blanch for 2 minutes until just tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp gochugaru. If you like extra tang, add a splash of vinegar or a pinch of sugar.
Step 3
Add the drained bean sprouts and 3 thinly sliced green onions to the dressing. Toss well to coat everything evenly.
Step 4
Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp sesame seeds and serve at room temperature or chilled. Taste and add a pinch of salt if needed.
