Servings: 6
Author: From "Chinese Cooking for Everyone", edited by Emma Callery, Crescent Books, 1991

Ingredients

  • 1 lb fresh bean sprouts
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 10 cups water
  • 2 Tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp vinegar
  • 2 scallions finely shredded

Instructions

  • Wash and rinse the bean sprouts in cold water, discarding the husks and other bits and pieces that float to the surface. It is not necessary to trim each sprout.
  • Blanch the sprouts in a pan of salted, boiling water. Pour them into a colander and rinse in cold water until cool. Drain.
  • Place the sprouts in a bowl or deep dish, and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, and vinegar. Toss well, and garnish with thinly shredded scallions just before serving.
