大豆芽海带汤

Recently my boy's favourite vegetable is bean sprouts! There are 2 types of sprouts available in the market, green been sprout and soybean sprout. One of Korean infamous soup is the soybean sprout soup. Unlike the green been sprout, the soybean sprout has a huge yellow bean attached to it's root and therefore has more bites :D I like this simple refreshing soup which only flavored with some dried kelp , ikan bilis and a little salt. I took 2 huge bowl of this soup and did not intake any rice, hehehe good for maintaining my ideal weight >.<
