    I couldn’t find soybean sprouts so I used mung bean sprouts. I added a tiny bit of vinegar to the sauce because I wanted it slightly acidic. It was really tasty!

    I made it for my boyfriend, and he said that with a little more salt it tasted just like his mother’s! I’m so excited. That was high praise! Thank you, Maangchi!
