Ingredients
- 400 grams bean sprouts
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- ½ teaspoon soy sauce
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic (finely grated)
- ¼ teaspoon salt (to taste)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 scallion (finely chopped)
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- While you're waiting for the water to boil, combine the sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and salt together in a bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add the bean sprouts to the boiling water and blanch until the water returns to a boil (40 seconds to 1 minute).
- Drain the bean sprouts and rinse with cold water.
- Use your hands to squeeze as much water out of the bean sprouts as you can. This quantity of bean sprouts should end up being a handful.
- Break up the clump of beansprouts as you add them to the bowl with the sauce. Add the sesame seeds and scallions and toss to distribute evenly.
