Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh bean sprouts
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 1 medium cucumber
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Begin by rinsing and draining the bean sprouts under cold water. Shake off any excess water and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and the cucumber into thin half-moons. Add both to the bowl with the bean sprouts.
Chop the green onions and fresh cilantro roughly, then add them to the mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and lime juice.
Finely mince the garlic clove and grate the fresh ginger. Add both to the dressing mixture along with the crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Whisk everything together until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss gently until all ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Finally, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the salad and give it a final gentle toss.
Serve immediately as a refreshing salad or refrigerate for up to two hours for the flavors to meld before serving.
