Days are getting colder and the nights are getting colder. It reminds me of my childhood when my mom would make me the Spicy Korean Soybean Sprout Soup which of course wasn’t spicy. I wasn’t a spicy food kind of kid. I would ward off anything that made my tough tingle.
My taste buds are much different as I crave spicy foods now! My has time changed. Well I wanted to share the Spicy Korean Soybean Sprout Soup and make what my mom still makes for me. I hope you like the recipe below!
