Rinse the soybean sprouts a couple of times, discarding any skins floating.

Add the bean sprouts, salt, boil, cover and bring it to a boil. Continue cooking over medium high heat. Do not open the lid while the bean sprouts are being cooked, or the raw bean smell will linger even after cooked. Once kongnamul is cooked, taste for salt and pepper.  Add the scallions and serve.
