Spicy Bean Sprout Salad for Ramen Recipe
Bean sprouts perish quickly, so use them on the same day of purchase for best results. Once made, the bean sprouts salad keeps well in fridge for 2-3 days.
For non-spicy version, omit the last 3 ingredients in seasonings (A) and season with a bit more salt and/or soy sauce to taste.

Delicious! I love it very spicy :-)
I am also not a fan of beansprouts (since have had those raw super-grassy sprouts when I was a kid and could nvr forget that unwelcomed taste and feel on my palate..till now). I still cook them once in a while. Do you like soybean sprouts? I prefer soybean sprouts to mung bean sprouts ,
My lazy method to make spicy bean sprouts is to mix them with store-bought kimchi, then the whole dish is spiced up (and also the bean sprouts can help “distribute” the saltiness in kimchi).
