DUA GIA (PICKLED BEAN SPROUT SALAD)



Dua Gia (Pickled Bean Sprout Salad) image

Delicately crunchy and bright tasting, this easy southern Vietnamese favorite is technically a pickle because the vegetables steep in brine. But it is eaten in large amounts like a salad, usually with intensely flavored fish or pork kho (dishes simmered in savory caramel sauce). The vegetables provide a refreshing contrast to the inky, deep flavors of kho but they're also terrific paired with dumplings or sandwiches. The bean sprouts and carrot are typically combined with flat Chinese chives. Since those kinds of chives can be hard to find, you can also use thin green scallion tops.

Categories     salads and dressings, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1 cup distilled white vinegar
1 pound bean sprouts
1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks
5 small or 4 medium scallions, green parts only, cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths (see Note)

Steps:

  • To make the brine, combine the sugar, salt, vinegar and 1 cup water in a large saucepan and warm over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and salt dissolve. Remove from the heat and completely cool.
  • At least 40 minutes and up to 2 hours before serving, add the bean sprouts, carrot and scallions to the brine. Use your fingers to toss the vegetables. Set aside at room temperature for 30 minutes, turning the vegetables 2 or 3 times to expose them evenly to the brine. At first, the vegetables won't be covered by the brine, but then they will shrink. They're ready when they're almost covered with brine and taste pleasantly tangy and are a mix of crunchy and soft. If needed, let them sit for 10 minutes longer.
  • Drain the vegetables and pile them high on a plate. Serve at room temperature within 2 hours to enjoy them at their peak.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh bean sprouts that are crisp and tender. Look for sprouts that are white or light green in color, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • To prepare the bean sprouts, rinse them thoroughly under cold water and drain well. You can also trim the root ends of the sprouts, if desired.
  • Bean sprout salad is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish, appetizer, or main course. It is also a great way to use up leftover bean sprouts.
  • If you are making the salad ahead of time, store it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. When you are ready to serve, bring the salad to room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Bean sprout salad is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its crunchy texture and refreshing flavor, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy salad recipe, give bean sprout salad a try!
