Large plate

Ingredients

Serves 6
2 cloves Garlic minced
2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
1 teaspoon Toasted Sesame Seeds
1/4 teaspoon Red Chile Flakes optional
1 pound Soybean Rinsed and drained or 1 pound Bean Sprouts rinsed and drained
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 Green Onions sliced thinly or 2 Scallions sliced thinly

Meanwhile, wilt the sprouts: Toss bean sprouts with salt and spread them on a large plate. Drizzle with a little water. Microwave until softened, about 5 minutes for soy bean sprouts or 2 minutes for mung bean sprouts. Stir once or twice during cooking.

While the sprouts are still warm, combine them with the dressing and green onions. Toss gently.

Chef's Tips

  • Look for soy bean sprouts in Asian markets. They have larger, darker seeds and a nuttier flavor than mung bean sprouts.
  • In place of bean sprouts, use broccoli slaw mix.
