Kong namul banchan (soybean sprout banchan) 콩나물 (serves 3-4 as banchan)

     Kong Namul is a popular banchan that is both easy and quick to make. It is rather popular and a necessary part of any bibimbap. It requires very little seasoning, allowing the true flavor of the soybean sprouts to shine. It is high in fiber and protein along with low calorie. For a quick and easy meal, try serving this with rice, some kimchi and sesame oil.
