Essential Ingredients
- 180g bean sprouts
- 0.5 Tbsp coarse salt (for blanching)
- 1 handful chopped green onions
- 0.5 Tbsp minced garlic
- 0.5 Tbsp tuna extract (or fish sauce)
- 2 pinches salt (for seasoning)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash 180g of bean sprouts under running water. If the ends of the bean sprouts are dirty, you can trim them slightly. After washing, drain the bean sprouts in a colander.
Step 2
Boil plenty of water in a pot. Once boiling, add 0.5 Tbsp of coarse salt. When the salt dissolves, add the prepared bean sprouts and blanch for just 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become mushy.
Step 3
Immediately drain the blanched bean sprouts in a colander and rinse them quickly under cold running water. This step is crucial for maintaining the crisp texture of the bean sprouts.
Step 4
Transfer the completely drained bean sprouts to a bowl. Add 1 handful of chopped green onions to the bowl.
Step 5
Now it’s time for the seasonings. Add 0.5 Tbsp of minced garlic and 0.5 Tbsp of tuna extract. If you don’t have tuna extract, fish sauce can be a good substitute. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt as needed. I usually add about 2 pinches of salt.
Step 6
Finally, add 1 tsp of toasted sesame seeds and 1 Tbsp of sesame oil for a nutty aroma.
Step 7
Gently mix the bean sprouts with your hands to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed. It’s important to mix softly to avoid crushing the bean sprouts.
Step 8
Your crispy and delicious seasoned bean sprouts are ready! Enjoy your meal with this delightful side dish. 🙂
