Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams bean sprouts
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 stalk green onion
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold running water. Drain well and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Slice the green onion thinly and set both aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved to form the sauce base.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced green onion. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant and the green onions are slightly softened.
Add the drained bean sprouts to the wok and toss quickly to combine with the garlic and green onion.
Pour the prepared sauce over the bean sprouts and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the bean sprouts are evenly coated.
Season with salt and black pepper, tossing well to combine.
Remove from heat and transfer the bean sprouts to a serving plate.
Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top for garnish and extra flavor. Serve immediately as a side dish or over rice or noodles as a light main course.
