Cooking tips 💡

• Cooling the steamed bean sprouts immediately in cold water removes any fishy odor and preserves their crisp, refreshing texture.
• Avoid adding too much vinegar, as it can cause the chives to soften quickly—stick to half a tablespoon to maintain just the right tang.
• When grilling offal or pork belly, place the salad on one side of the grill pan so it gets lightly cooked by the meat fat—delicious!
