Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 oz bean sprouts ((1 bag))
1 green onion/scallion
1 Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
½ Tbsp soy sauce
¼ tsp kosher salt (Diamond Crystal; use half for table salt)

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.

Bean Sprout Spinach Salad image

Bean sprouts, bacon crumbles and sunflower kernels lend a pleasant crunch to my mom's refreshing version of spinach salad. The tangy oil-and-vinegar dressing coats the mixture well. Mom will sometimes add a few radish slices for color. -Susan Emery Everett, Washington

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.
