STIR FRIED BEAN SPROUTS WITH SHRIMP

I found a stir fry bean sprout recipe on a web site. I made some changes, and added a few ingredients that we like. We really liked how light yet filling this dish was. We did notice however the soy sauce at the bottom of our plate when we finished. I suggest that the next time I make this, I'll mix a bit of corn starch with soy sauce or water and add it to thicken the sauce up a bit. This can be served as a main dish and serve 2, or it will serve 4 as a side dish.

STIR-FRIED BEAN SPROUTS WITH SPROUTED BROWN RICE



Stir-Fried Bean Sprouts With Sprouted Brown Rice image

The sprouts I find most often at the supermarket are mung bean sprouts. But lately I've also found pea sprouts, which are more delicate and have a delicious fresh flavor. The stir-fry time is much shorter for pea sprouts, about one to two minutes total.

Time 50m

Yield Serves three to four

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sprouted brown rice, cooked 3 cups cooked rice
1 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium if desired
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
2 teaspoons dark Asian sesame oil
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white pepper
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 medium red bell pepper, cut in 1/4-inch-by-2-inch matchsticks 1 cup julienne
4 cups bean sprouts about 3/4 pound
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the brown rice, and keep warm. It takes about 40 minutes to cook, so while it's simmering you can prepare your ingredients for the stir-fry.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, and the sesame oil. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water quickly evaporates in the pan. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the red pepper, and stir-fry for one minute, then add the bean sprouts and scallions. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds. Add the salt, pepper and sugar. Toss together, and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for one to two minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in the cilantro, and serve with the rice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, crisp bean sprouts. Wilted or slimy bean sprouts will not taste as good and may be more difficult to stir-fry.
  • Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly before cooking. This will remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a hot wok or skillet. This will help to quickly cook the bean sprouts and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Stir-fry the bean sprouts for a short period of time. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Add other vegetables, protein, and seasonings to taste. Some popular additions include garlic, ginger, onion, soy sauce, and oyster sauce.
  • Serve stir-fried bean sprouts immediately. They are best when eaten fresh.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried bean sprouts are a quick, easy, and healthy dish that can be enjoyed as a side dish or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and nutritious meal that the whole family will love.
