- Steps:
- Rinse mung beans thoroughly (remove poor quality beans which are dark or wrinkled).
- Put the beans in a bowl then add clean water. Leave to soak for 1-2 days until they double in size and some tiny sprouts appear.
- Drain the beans. Place them in a colander. Spread to reduce overlapping. Cover with a wet towel then place a plate on top.
- Put the colander inside a large bowl (non-transparent). Then cover with a piece of cloth to block light. Leave in a cool, shady place.
- In the next 3-5 days, rinse the beans under running water twice a day (Set alarms in case you forget). This is how to do it each time:
- When the bean sprouts are fully grown, pull them out of the colander (the roots will be caught in the holes). Store in a sealable bag in the fridge for up to three days.
- Before using, rinse the sprouts several times to remove most of the green skin of the beans.
- Uncover the bowl. Remove the colander. Take the plate away but do not remove the towel over the beans.
- Rinse under running water. Then put the plate back.
- Place the colander back into the bowl. Cover with the cloth.
