Korean Bean Sprout Salad
"A Korean restaurant recipe. I submitted this before trying it; after having it last night to accompany a pork and vegetable stir fry, UI can say it is really very good, similar to a kimchi. We used home-ground chiles, a blend of guajillo and ancho, so it wasn't very hot. Use hotter chiles if you want more spiciness."

<p>This site has gotten so horribly bad over the past couple of years, I have stopped using it to manage my recipes and have gone over to using another one, which I have been forbidden to mention on Food.com. It's no secret that there are competitors; send me a message if you are in the same boat and would like to know. For now, I only frequent a few of the forums and that's it. The Titanic has sailed!</p>
