What is "sukjunamul"

Sukjunamul refers to a seasoned banchan (side dish) made from mung bean sprouts in Korean cuisine. However, the sprouts themselves are also called sukjunamul in the Korean language. It is a common banchan, as well as a common ingredient in bokkeumbap (Korean fried rice) and mandu (Korean dumplings).

In order to prepare the dish, after the roots and skin are removed from the sprouts, the sprouts are parboiled, drained, and then seasoned with sesame oil, soy sauce, chopped green onions, sesame seeds, pepper and minced garlic.
