Cooking tips

  • Always add minced garlic to the hot bean sprouts right away so its natural sweetness remains and the sharpness fades.
  • Instead of boiling with plenty of water, use only half a cup and steam the bean sprouts to preserve their nutty flavor and nutrients.
  • Chives and carrots are mainly for color and texture—feel free to omit them depending on your refrigerator's contents.

Recommended for

  • Those who have struggled with bean sprouts losing their freshness or developing a fishy odor during cooking.
  • People who want to make a deeply flavorful side dish with minimal ingredients and simple tips.
