Step by Step Method

Step 1

Rinse and drain a package of soybean sprouts (500 grams) a few times over. Pick out any rotten sprouts.

Step 2

Place the soybean sprouts into a pot and add 5½ cups of water.

Step 3

Add salt, soy sauce, minced garlic, and hot pepper flakes.

Step 4

Slice half a medium sized onion and put it in the pot.

Step 5

Add a handful of dried anchovies to a cheesecloth and tie it with kitchen twine. (refer to Note)

Step 6

Close the lid and bring to a boil over medium heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 7

When the soup boils over, open the lid and stir the soup with a spoon.

Step 8

Lower the heat and cook another 25 minutes.

Step 9

Add green onions and sesame oil.

Step 10

Turn off the heat. Remove the cheesecloth and toss.

Step 11

Grind roasted sesame seeds in a grinder.

Step 12

Place the soup in bowls and sprinkle with sesame seed powder on top, just before serving.

NOTE: The anchovies will later be removed and they won't be eaten. They are added to soup while cooking to add flavor.
