Spicy Soy Bean Sprouts

Similar to <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2012/05/bean-sprouts-with-green-onions.html">mung bean sprouts</a> (germinated mung beans), soy bean sprouts (germinated soy beans) provide important B Vitamins e.g.thiamin, riboflavin, niacin; and minerals e.g. folate and zinc.<br /><img src="https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7526/15701560617_ce1460800b_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Keeping it simple (and not over-cooking) is the key when it comes to cooking bean sprouts. Personally, mung bean sprouts often have a stronger raw taste, so I usually prefer to <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2012/03/mung-bean-soybean-sprouts-stir-fry.html">stir-fry/saute</a> them quickly as the heat/oil helps in removing its raw taste. On the other hand, soy bean bean retains its crunchy texture much better when blanched in boiling water. Using blanched soy bean sprouts, an easy <b>Spicy Soy Bean Sprouts</b> salad side-dish takes less than 20 minutes to prepare, and pairs well with rice e.g. <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/easy-healthy-korean-bibimbap.html">Easy Healthy Korean<i> Bibimbap</i></a>, or noodles e.g <a href="https://teczcape.blogspot.com/2013/10/kimchi-noodles-with-bean-sprouts.html"><i>Kimchi</i> Noodles</a>.<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img src="https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8613/15701285609_dc11dde4a6.jpg" /><br /><br /><iframe align="left" frameborder="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no" src="//ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&OneJS=1&Operation=GetAdHtml&MarketPlace=US&source=ss&ref=ss_til&ad_type=product_link&tracking_id=anestofo-20&marketplace=amazon&region=US&placement=B00005B8K5&asins=B00005B8K5&linkId=VEXPAFMVKZPHC2ZA&show_border=false&link_opens_in_new_window=true" style="height: 240px; padding-right: 10px; padding-top: 5px; width: 120px;"></iframe><b>Spicy Soy Bean Sprouts</b><br /><i>Ingredients</i>:<br />1 pack (3-4 big handfuls of raw soy bean sprouts), blanched quickly in boiling water, set aside to cool, squeeze out excess water of the blanched sprouts when cooled<br />Homemade spicy <i>gochujang</i> dressing (<a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/korean-spicy-tofu.html">recipe </a>here)<br /><br /><i>Directions</i>: Mix blanched bean sprouts (already cooled to room temperature) with homemade spicy dressing.<br /><br />Sharing with <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/">Hearth and Soul</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Tag: </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/spicy+soybean+sprouts" rel="tag">spicy soybean sprouts</a></span><br /><script src="https://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("ea808497442c6dbff6ecc79cee2b6ebd"); </script><fb:fan connections="0" logobar="0" profile_id="225194391877" stream="0" width="300"></fb:fan><br /><div style="font-size: 8px; padding-left: 2px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/An-Escape-to-Food/225194391877">An Escape to Food</a> on Facebook</div>

Bean Sprouts Salad 豆芽沙拉

With a quick and easy <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2012/05/bean-sprouts-with-green-onions.html">bean sprouts</a> <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2012/03/mung-bean-soybean-sprouts-stir-fry.html">stir-fry</a>, this salad-style bean sprouts dish which is even quicker and easier to prepare and cook, immediately caught my attention.<br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3929/15381743006_98e4d2a90d_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Quick and fuss-free side-dish recipes are great when cooking the main dish itself takes a little more time, and when stove-top space is limited. With this <b>Bean Sprouts Salad</b>, all that was required was a pot of boiling water to blanch the bean sprouts 1-2 minutes, then season the blanched sprouts to make a flavorful and light side-dish salad.<br /><br />Now, with the side-dish taken care of, I can start cooking the main dish <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/10/homemade-chicken-rice.html">chicken rice</a>; starting up two stove-top burners - one for making chicken stock and chicken (<a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/08/poached-chicken.html">Poached Chicken</a> recipe), and one for <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/10/homemade-chicken-rice.html">cooking the rice</a> (<a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/10/homemade-chicken-rice.html">Chicken Rice</a> recipe).<br /><a name="more"></a><br /><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3931/15218263747_85086f0d1d_z.jpg" /><br /><br />Besides being a super-easy recipe, I also like the generous use of Japanese 7-spice powder in this bean sprout salad recipe from <a href="http://www.justonecookbook.com/recipes/spicy-bean-sprout-salad/">JustOneCookbook.com</a>. While the salad can be use as a topping for <i>ramen</i> noodles, it can also be used as a side-dish for a rice dish such as <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2015/10/homemade-chicken-rice.html">chicken rice</a> and <a href="http://teczcape.blogspot.com/2014/06/easy-healthy-korean-bibimbap.html"><i>bibimbap</i></a>.<br /><br />Sharing with <a href="http://www.21stcenturyhousewife.com/">Hearth and Soul</a><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;">Tag: </span><span style="font-size: 85%;"><a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/mung+bean+sprouts+salad" rel="tag">mung bean sprouts salad</a>, <a href="http://www.technorati.com/tag/mung+bean+sprouts" rel="tag">mung bean sprouts</a> </span><br /><script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("ea808497442c6dbff6ecc79cee2b6ebd"); </script><fb:fan connections="0" logobar="0" profile_id="225194391877" stream="0" width="300"></fb:fan><br /><div style="font-size: 8px; padding-left: 2px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/An-Escape-to-Food/225194391877">An Escape to Food</a> on Facebook</div>
