You are so generous with your time and I love how much you love what you do!

I think your cooking videos make me feel more connected to my birth culture than all the other videos on the internet combined.

Thank you for letting me see the real way of Korean cooking. Much better than the hamburger helper I was raised on as a Korean adoptee!

Thanks for your reply. I see. I thought mung bean and soybean is interchangable… As I grow the sprouts by myself, mung bean is easier to grow ^_^

Jessica,
I checked your bean sprout dish photo. As I said through email, I used soybean sprouts in my video.

The bean sprouts you made is mung bean sprouts. I usually don't use hot pepper flakes for mung bean sprouts dish.

Soy bean sprouts need time for about 15 minutes to cook, but mung bean sprouts may need only 10 minutes.

If soy bean sprouts are not cooked properly, the uncooked strong flavor will remain even though you mix it with other ingredients.

Hot pepper flakes are used for usual korean dishes and hot pepper powder is used to make "hot pepper paste".
However, I can use the both for korean dishes.

Thanks for your recipe, I tried the bean sprouts side dish and it came out great. But I wonder why it has to be cooked for 15mins? Isn't it too long?

I got some chilli powder in korean store, they come in 2 grain size: coarse and fine. Would you explain their difference in terms of usage? Thanks a lot!
