Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fresh bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 units garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 units green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
Instructions
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold water and drain well, ensuring they are free from any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, cornstarch, and water, whisking until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Heat the sesame oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Add the bean sprouts to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften but still retain a slight crunch.
Pour the prepared sauce over the bean sprouts and toss well to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the bean sprouts are well coated with the savory garlic sauce.
Transfer the bean sprouts to a serving dish, sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
Serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
