Main Ingredients- 1 bag fresh mung bean sprouts (approx. 200-300g)
- 1/2 stalk green onion
- 60ml water
Seasoning Ingredients- 1 Tbsp fish sauce (anchovy or sand lance)
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 packet stick broth (chicken or vegetable)
- 1 Tbsp fish sauce (anchovy or sand lance)
- 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 1 packet stick broth (chicken or vegetable)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, rinse the fresh mung bean sprouts thoroughly under running water several times. It’s important to wash them carefully to remove any dirt or debris.
Step 2
Wash the green onion and mince it finely. The fragrant aroma of the green onion will add depth to the mung bean sprout salad.
Step 3
Now, add 60ml of water and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce to a pot. Boiling the water and fish sauce first will help the sprouts absorb the seasoning evenly.
Step 4
Add the prepared mung bean sprouts to the pot. Gently spread them out with chopsticks or a spoon to ensure evenness. Cover with a lid and cook on high heat for exactly 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy. Stick to the time!
Step 5
After 3 minutes, open the lid. The sprouts should be moist from the released water. Gently mix the sprouts with a spatula, then spread them out on a wide sieve to cool. Cooling them this way helps maintain their crisp texture.
Step 6
Place the cooled mung bean sprouts in a bowl. Add the minced green onion, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 packet of stick broth, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds. Gently toss everything together to combine. Your delicious low-water mung bean sprout salad is ready! Taste and add a little more salt if needed.
