Instructions
- Rinse mung bean sprouts in water and drain.
- In a pot, bring 1 qt of water and 1/2 tsp sea salt to boil.
- Prepare an ice bath with a bowl of ice water.
- Add bean sprouts to boiling water and bring back to boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes (after it starts boiling again) or until sprouts just starting to look cooked. Sprouts should be slightly crunchy and will start to look translucent and dull in color. Do NOT OVERCOOK.
- When cooked, transfer the sprouts to ice bath immediately.
- When sprouts are completely cooled, drain.
- Grab a handful of sprouts and squeeze the liquid gently with your hands. Repeat for remaining sprouts.
- Season bean sprouts with sea salt, sesame oil and sesame seeds. Garnish with some chopped green onions.
Notes
- This is a very simple basic recipe. For color, you can add julienned cucumbers and yellow peppers.Do not leave at room temperature for too long because it spoils easily. Can be refrigerated and served cold or at room temp.
