Korean Soybean Sprout Salad (K'ong Namul)

"A delicious soybean sprout salad to accompany Korean meals.If you've never had soybean sprouts they are less delicate than mung bean sprouts and have a heartier,nuttier flavor that is complemented perfectly by sesame oil.They can be found at many Asian stores,or you can sprout them yourself from whole soybeans.Koch'u jang or koch'u chang is a Korean condiment made from fermented soybeans similar to Japanese miso mixed with hot chiles and can be found in Asian stores in areas with large Korean populations."
