Ingredients
- 400 grams bean sprouts
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 2 stalks green onions
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Wash and drain the bean sprouts thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the gluten-free soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, red chili flakes, salt, and pepper to make the savory sauce.
Chop the green onions into thin slices, separating the white and green parts.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the bean sprouts and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to soften slightly but remain crisp.
Pour the savory garlic sauce over the cooking bean sprouts and stir well to ensure all are coated.
Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce is heated through and the garlic is fragrant.
Remove the pan from the heat and toss in the sliced green parts of the onions.
Transfer the bean sprouts to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and the white part of the green onions.
Serve immediately as a hot side dish or as a main dish with rice or quinoa.
