Bring a large pot (about 7 cups water to boil. Season the water with 2 small pinches of salt. Add mung bean sprouts and quickly blanch them for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Rinse in cold running water and set aside to drain well. To make the sauce, in a bowl combine ingredients from coconut aminos to garlic. Gently mix well.
1: Start with a few handfuls of sprouted mung beans in a mixing bowl and then add your favorite veggies. I like to add carrots, cucumbers, onions, tomatoes, and corn as my base as these are readily available year-round! 2: Add your favorite garnish and spices. I love cilantro, salt, and red chili powder.
Put the mung bean noodle sheets into a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Let them slowly soften in the heat and water until they are submerged. Add more boiling water, if needed. If there are some thick, tough parts that don’t soften, tear them off and discard them. While the noodles are soaking, prepare the ingredients.
This simple bean sprout salad is a light and refreshing salad with a delicious spicy peanut dressing. It’s a great quick and colourful low carb vegetarian lunch. The red pepper and cucumber give colour and flavour that goes so well with the peanut butter dressing.
