This recipe is popular on both sides of the border. It came from a friend in Alaska, then traveled with me to old Mexico, where I lived for 5 years, and is now a potluck favorite in my Arkansas community. It's easy to keep the beans warm and serve from a slow cooker. -Barbara Short, Mena, Arkansas

SWEET & SOUR SPROUTED MUNG BEANS



Sweet & Sour Sprouted Mung Beans image

This is an Indian hearty dhal (lentil soup) from the state of Gujarat, that was taught to me by mother-in-law. The preparation requires some planning, but the results are excellent. Two notes: 1) the original dish was meant to be 'Saatvic' (a type of Hindu food considered pure), which usually means no onions or garlic, but it is tasty both ways and; 2) the recipe calls for jaggery, which can be bought in a local Indian grocer, but sugar works almost as well.

Time P2DT30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup washed and picked over mung beans (green)
1/2 finely diced onion (optional)
2 finely minced green chilies (or more)
1 tablespoon finely shredded ginger
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 lime, juice of
1 lime, quartered (garnish)
2 teaspoons finely chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon jaggery (or sugar as a substitute)
1 teaspoon canola oil
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander powder
1 teaspoon salt, more to taste

Steps:

  • Sprout the mung beans: Wash and pick over the dry mung beans until the water runs clear. Add enough water to the pot so that the beans are just covered, and then cover the pot and keep in a warm place (during the summer, a window is good; during the winter, the oven is a good spot). Keep checking the water level every 6 hours, and add water if the beans look dry. The beans should sprout in about 24-48 hours.
  • Once the sprouts are about 1/2 cm long, add about 2 cups water to the pot, and pressure cook the dhal until tender (each pressure cooker is different, but on mine, I turn off the cooker 5 mins after it begins whistling). Regardless, you want the dhal to be very soft and tender, but not mushy.
  • In a heavy pot, heat up 1 tsp oil, and mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the cumin seeds start sputtering, add the coriander powder and green chilies and sauté 1 minute. Now add the onions, and sauté until lightly brown.
  • Add the cooked dhal, 1 cup of water, shredded ginger, 3/4 of the cilantro, salt, jaggery/sugar, and juice from lime. Bring to a rolling boil for 2 mins, and then simmer for 7-8 mins on low heat.
  • Serve in small 'vatkis' (dhal bowls) with rice and roti (bread). Garnish with cilantro and lime quarters (so that people can add more lime if they wish).

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:

  • Soak mung beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them sprout more easily and quickly.
  • To sprout mung beans, rinse them thoroughly and place them in a jar or container with a lid. Fill the jar with water, leaving about an inch of space at the top. Cover the jar and let it sit in a warm, dark place for 1-2 days.
  • Once the mung beans have sprouted, rinse them well and drain them. You can then use them in salads, stir-fries, soups, and other dishes.
  • For the sweet and sour sauce, use a combination of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and water. You can also add other ingredients, such as pineapple juice, ginger, or garlic, to taste.
  • To make the sweet and sour sprouted mung beans, simply stir-fry the mung beans in a little oil until they are heated through. Then, add the sweet and sour sauce and cook for a few more minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve the sweet and sour sprouted mung beans over rice or noodles, or as a side dish.

Conclusion:

Sweet and sour sprouted mung beans are a delicious and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a main course or side dish. They are packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins, and they are also low in calories and fat. The sweet and sour sauce adds a delicious and tangy flavor to the mung beans, and it also helps to tenderize them.
