Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Never leave the steamed bean sprouts at room temperature—heat residue will cause them to lose their crispness. Cool them immediately in cold water to maintain crunch.
  • The inner seeds of cucumbers contain high moisture and can dilute the sauce over time, making it taste bland. Always remove them and use only the firm outer flesh.
  • Use freshly minced garlic instead of frozen or pre-minced versions to enhance the sharpness of the mustard and create a cleaner, bolder flavor profile.

Recommended for

  • Those who enjoy a bold, spicy kick from mustard combined with the rich creaminess of peanut butter.
  • People looking for a satisfying, crunchy vegetable-based side dish during hot summer days while minimizing stove use.
