    I had never seen just long bean sprouts until a few months ago, when I had an opportunity to see them for the first time. I had to try them immediately. I made a simple stir fry out of them, by adding washed bean sprouts to the normal Indian tadka and a little salt. It tasted great, I am a person who loves to eat only half cooked veggies. The crunch from these sprouts amused me so much so that I wanted  to make it a regular in my kitchen. But will I have such an easy go? I could never find another pack of them in the super markets for a long long time. Luckily, I found them back two days ago and I instantly picked up a pack and this time, S suggested I make it into Chinese Stir Fry recipe. Being a lover of Chinese food, I couldnt say no and I had an awesome stir fry staring at me in less than ten minutes. Its very simple to make and goes well with any fried rice recipe. If you are a veggie freak like me, you can gulp down the entire plate as the main course too 🙂 Now, here is the recipe -

    Ingredients:

    • Bean Sprouts - 1 pack (200gms)
    • Soya Sauce - 2.5tbsp
    • Salt - as required
    • Sugar - 1 tsp
    • Olive Oil - 1 tsp

    CAM00598

    Preparation:

    1. Heat olive oil in a kadai. (Sesame oil gives the best taste though)
    2. Once oil heats up, add bean sprouts and give it a quick stir.
    3. Within 3 mins, the sprouts start to shrink and then add salt and sugar.
    4. Let it cook for another 2 mins and add soya sauce. Give a stir again.
    5. Bring it off the heat in 2mins and bean sprout stir fry is ready to be served 🙂

    Note: Overcooking the sprouts will make them lose the crunch and the whole essence is lost.

      Ramya, it's dead easy to make your own bean sprouts from dried mung beans. Just soak the beans for a few hours, then place them in a container with drainage holes in the bottom - or even just a clear plastic bottle. Rinse the beans twice daily, in order to ensure that the water is always fresh - just enough to keep the beans moist. After a day or so the beans will sprout and begin to grow a 'tail'. Repeat for several days until the shoots are as long as required. If desired, you can pick/rinse off the green skins to leave just the sprouts. Enjoy!
