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!See full size image Keystonecurler Maryland joined 5/19 & has 1 commentPosted May 17th, 2019 at 12:28 pm | Log in to reply. 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!
