I just made the spicy version for lunch. It was so incredibly delicious, so suprising for how little ingredients there were. It brought me back to Pusan. Yummy!

Yes you can substitute mung bean sprouts in place of soybean sprouts. I prefer it myself and generally any bean sprout that is about the size of the soybean. More people are switching to other kinds of bean sprouts other than soy due to the concern of the phyto-estrogen( “phyto” only means that it is plant derived), or estrogen that naturally occurs in soy for those concerned with that issue.

For those who don’t know, the mesh ball Maangchi uses is called an infuser.

“I actually made an anchovie/iriko stock with kelp and a dried shiitake mushroom ahead of time..” very wise! I hope your kimchi turns out delicious!
