Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams bean sprouts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 stalk green onion (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold water. Drain well and set aside.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
If using green onion for garnish, thinly slice it and set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure even cooking.
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the bean sprouts. Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper. Toss well to combine.
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bean sprouts are crisp-tender. Avoid overcooking, as they should retain a slight crunch.
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with sliced green onion, if desired, and serve immediately.
