Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Bean sprouts 200g
  • Chikuwa (fish cakes) 5 pieces (120g)

Seasonings

  • [A] Soy sauce 4 tsp
  • [A] Vinegar 1 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 2 tsp
  • [A] Sesame oil 1 tsp
  • [A] MSG 3 dashes
  • [A] Toasted sesame seeds 1 tsp
  • [A] Rayu (chili oil) to taste
  • [A] Green onions to taste

Steps

  1. Thinly slice 5 chikuwa (fish cakes) diagonally. [Pro Tip!] Slicing them thinly helps them mix well with the bean sprouts, creating a harmonious dish.
  2. Place 200g bean sprouts in a heatproof container, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave at 600W for 3 minutes.
  3. Cool the microwaved bean sprouts under running water, then thoroughly squeeze out the excess water. [Pro Tip!] Squeezing out the water properly helps the seasonings absorb better.

[Pro Tip!] Crushing the toasted sesame seeds between your fingers as you add them will enhance their aroma.
  5. Plate the dish, garnish with green onions to taste, drizzle with rayu (chili oil) to taste, and serve.
