STIR-FRIED BEAN SPROUTS WITH SPROUTED BROWN RICE
The sprouts I find most often at the supermarket are mung bean sprouts. But lately I've also found pea sprouts, which are more delicate and have a delicious fresh flavor. The stir-fry time is much shorter for pea sprouts, about one to two minutes total.

Steps:
- Cook the brown rice, and keep warm. It takes about 40 minutes to cook, so while it's simmering you can prepare your ingredients for the stir-fry.
- In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
- Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water quickly evaporates in the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper, and stir-fry for one minute, then add the bean sprouts and scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the salt, pepper and sugar. Toss together, and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in the cilantro, and serve with the rice.
