Korean-Style Mung Bean Sprouts (Sukju Namul)

A simple, light-flavoured dish that can be eaten itself as a side-dish, added to plain white rice, or added to other dishes like bibimbap or moo gook (Korean radish soup). It is often eaten at traditional Korean functions or holidays, but is also just a nice dish to eat for that traditional feeling.
