I asked some of my sisters and they agreed that this is the best way to eat it.Īnyway, here is a great Korean Bean Sprout Recipe that you can add to your set of “Namul” recipes – totally gluten free, vegetarian and vegan.
I love the pure simple taste of cooked mung bean sprouts, seasoned lightly with salt and enhanced just a little bit with a touch of sesame oil and green onions. If you have searched for recipes for Korean Sukju Namul online, you probably noticed that many have garlic in it.
Seeing how the mung bean sprouts change so quickly, Korean people living during the times of King Sejo started calling it “sukju” saying that mung bean sprouts change quickly and easily just like how Shin Sukju changed his allegiance so quickly and easily. Also, even they are cooked and made into Korean Bean Sprout Salad or Namul, they spoil pretty quickly also. Well – if you have bought bean sprouts from the market and kept them in your fridge for few days, you will know that they change color and go bad pretty quickly. what does this crazy story have anything to do with mung bean sprouts? However, Shin Sukju quickly professed allegiance to Sejo and was later highly decorated by King Sejo for his many contributions during his reign. Queen Insoo (인수대비 Insoodaebi) is one of the many that I enjoyed watching.Īfter the coup, many of King Sejong’s trusted officials stood up against King Sejo’s take over and ended up losing their lives. This is one of the most heart wrenching story in Korean history and many Korean historical dramas were made around these times. Eventually King Danjong was ordered to put to death by his uncle Sejo in 1455. And when his son King Danjong became King at the very young age of 12, King Sejong’s younger brother Sejo (who always believed that he should be King) led a coup and succeeded in taking over the throne. When King Sejong died in 1450, he asked Shin and few other trusted officials to protect his heirs and his line of throne because his oldest son King Munjong was very weak and his grandson King Danjong was still very young.Īs King Sejong had sadly predicted, King Munjong died from illness in 1452 at age 39 – after only a 3 year reign. Under King Sejong (14th century Joseon Dynasty), there was a great scholar whose name was Shin Sukju (신숙주( 申 叔 舟, 1417~1475)). It is recorded that Shin Sukju was a core contributor in the creation and application of the Korean alphabet Hangul under King Sejong and the King had deep trust for him. 😉 History of Sukju Namul (Korean Mung Bean Sprouts Side Dish)
Well, are you ready for a quick history lesson? If not, just skip the next couple paragraphs. Mung bean in Korean is called Nokdu (녹두) so then it should be called Nokdu Namul…but the name Sukju Namul is used. Then you are probably thinking that Sukju must mean mung beans in Korean (and honestly, I almost wrote that not remembering a story I heard many years ago) but it actually does NOT!!! any herb or plant that is seasoned raw, boiled or sautéed. any herb or plant leaves that are edible 2. The word Namul, according to Korean dictionary, has two meanings: 1. BTW, just to clarify, the bean sprouts in this Korean Bean Sprouts recipe are Mung Bean Sprouts and NOT Soy Bean Sprouts which is called Kongnamul (콩나물).
