Enjoy a simple yet profound flavor that maximizes the goodness of soybean sprouts with a cooking method and seasoning that brings out their best.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Mung bean sprouts: 1 bag (200g)

Seasonings

  • Salt: 1/3 tsp
  • Grated garlic: a pinch
  • Soy sauce: 1-2 tsp
  • Sesame oil: 1 tbsp
  • Toasted white sesame seeds: 1 tbsp

Steps

  1. Add enough water to the frying pan to cover the mung bean sprouts (1 bag/200g) and bring to a boil.
  2. Add the mung bean sprouts to the boiling water, spreading them out to ensure even cooking. **Tip!** If the heads of the sprouts are sticking out of the water, add more water. Using a frying pan makes it easier to spread them out and cook them evenly.
  3. Stir the sprouts once halfway through cooking. **Tip!** Ensure the bean part is cooked evenly.
  4. Taste the mung bean sprouts. When they have a crisp texture, turn off the heat. **Tip!** If the beans are large, boil for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Immediately immerse the boiled mung bean sprouts in cold water and change the water several times to cool them thoroughly. **Tip!** Soaking in cold water preserves their crispiness and keeps their color vibrant.
  6. Drain the water from the cooled mung bean sprouts thoroughly. **Tip!** Let them drain naturally without squeezing to maintain their texture. Excess moisture can dilute the flavor.
  7. Mix 1/3 tsp salt into the drained mung bean sprouts.
  8. In a bowl, add the salted mung bean sprouts along with a pinch of grated garlic, 1-2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sesame oil, and 1 tbsp toasted white sesame seeds.
  9. Gently mix the seasonings and sesame seeds, allowing the flavors to meld. **Tip!** Crushing the sesame seeds between your hands as you add them enhances their aroma. Mix gently, as if incorporating air, for a better texture.
  10. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  11. Serve in a dish and enjoy.
