This Korean bean sprout dish was inspired by one that my mother, who is now 76 years old, used to make. Try this spicy recipe if you enjoy the taste of hot, spicy chili. If not, try it without the chile powder. Both mung bean sprouts and soy bean sprouts can be prepared using these two separate recipes. It tastes great with hot, steaming rice.

Reviews
Need to use softened butter in the brown sugar part
There is so much butter in the cinnamon swirl that it caused the cake to stay gooey and never baked properly.
I hate to say it but I was greatly disappointed. Way too much butter which made it heavy and came out looking freakish. Had to toss it.
Need to add oil. Came out dry.
We really liked this recipe. I made half gluten free and in another pan the regular flour. These were devoured. Thanks!
This is an excellent coffee cake recipe! I made this for Thanksgiving company and it was very well received! It was easy to make and feeds alot of people! This is going into my favorites file! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
I made this in a 9 x 13 springform pan and it was done in exactly 40 minutes. Very easy and very tasty. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
MAN THIS WAS A HIT! The only thing I did different was did a cream cheese icing instead of the one suggested but I’m definitely adding this to my legendary recipes list!
Five stars for ease and taste. The only change I made was to use a1/2 C of butter in the cinnamon sugar topping. This is very good warm and room Temp.
This was a simple and delicious cake, and was a great treat with our coffee this morning! My guest liked how the butter was crusty on the bottom of the cake: she said that was her favorite part! I loved how the cinnamon melted into the cake. Excellent!
Delicious, and really easy! Will be making it again. I might experiment with a cream cheese glaze next time. I think you could easily customize this to use your favorite cinnamon roll glaze.
