Cooking tips

  • Cool the bean sprouts in cold water right after steaming to prevent toughness and maintain crispness.
  • Use savory salt instead of regular salt; for richer umami, use anchovy sauce or dried shrimp sauce.
  • Add the green onion leaves and carrot at the end to preserve their color and shape without mashing them.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make a crisp bean sprout salad without fail.
  • People looking for a simple, savory side dish that enhances the taste of rice.
