Time 7m

Yield 1 batch, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces fresh mung bean sprouts
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt, to taste
2 green onions
2 tablespoons sesame seed oil
toasted sesame seeds (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of water to a boil, then blanch the mung bean sprouts by adding them to the water and leaving them for a minute or two, until they begin to soften. Immediately drain them but DO NOT RINSE! (this causes them to retain more moisture, weighing down the shoots and making them soggy.) Let them to cool in the colander, occasionally giving them a toss.
  • While they cool, slice the green onion on the bias into pieces about 2-3mm thick. Add these to the blanched bean sprouts, along with the garlic, salt, sesame seeds and sesame oil, then lightly toss until they are evenly coated.
  • Once completely cooled, store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and tender mung bean sprouts, with bright green color and no signs of wilting.
  • Soak the mung bean sprouts in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This helps to remove any bitterness and makes them more crunchy.
  • Blanch the mung bean sprouts in boiling water for a few seconds, then immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and preserves their crispness.
  • Use a variety of seasonings to flavor the mung bean sprouts. Common choices include garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and vinegar.
  • Garnish the mung bean sprout salad with sesame seeds or chopped green onions for a pop of color and flavor.
