- 0.5 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Step 1
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Mince the garlic cloves and thinly slice the scallions.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, gochugaru, rice vinegar, sugar, and water to create the spicy sauce. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
