Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the bean sprouts under running water. Also, prepare the broccoli by cutting it into small florets. Bring a generous amount of water to a rolling boil in a pot. Once boiling, add the washed bean sprouts and the prepared broccoli florets to cook. Be careful not to overcook the bean sprouts; they should remain crisp, so cooking for about 2-3 minutes is ideal. The broccoli should turn a vibrant green. Drain the cooked bean sprouts and broccoli well. You can save the water used to cook the bean sprouts to make a delicious bean sprout soup!
Step 2
While the bean sprouts are cooking, let’s make the delicious dressing! In a small bowl, combine the 2 Tbsp of soup soy sauce and 1.5 Tbsp of onion syrup. Add the finely minced 1/3 carrot, 1 Tbsp of minced green onion, 1 Tbsp of sesame seeds, and 1 tsp of sesame oil. Mix all the ingredients well with a spoon until thoroughly combined. This creates a wonderful carrot dressing that will enhance the flavor of your rice. The sweetness of the carrot and the freshness of the vegetables create a delightful combination.
Step 3
Now, let’s assemble this beautiful one-bowl meal. Place the warm cooked rice into your serving bowl. Neatly arrange the well-drained, crisp bean sprouts and the blanched broccoli florets on top of the rice. The colorful presentation is sure to whet your appetite! Arrange the vegetables attractively over the rice for a visually appealing dish.
Step 4
Finally, drizzle 1 tsp of nutty sesame perilla oil over the top of the dish to enhance the aroma and flavor. For an even more satisfying meal, consider topping it with a fried egg, cooked to your preference (a sunny-side-up egg is particularly lovely). Enjoy this simple yet incredibly nutritious and delicious Broccoli and Bean Sprout Rice!
