BEAN SPROUT SALAD
Steps:
- [Optional] Remove the brown part and stringy root part. I recommend doing this extra step when you eat raw bean sprouts or when they are seasoned with light flavor sauce. You can taste the clean bean sprouts.
- Rinse the bean sprouts under cold water and drain well.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add bean sprouts to cook for 1 to 1.5 minutes.
- Drain into a colander and set aside for 5 minutes as you don't want to dilute the sauce with remaining water.
- Meanwhile, cut the green onion/scallion into small pieces. Grind the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle. Grate the garlic, or use a garlic press to crush the garlic.
- In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients for the seasonings and mix well. It might look little but it's more than enough.
- Add the bean sprout and green onion/scallion in the bowl and combine all together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
