Okay, first I have a confession, I hated sprouts as a kid. Okay another confession, I ate two slices of coconut cream pie yesterday. Oh! why did I do that?
Back to the sprouts, I don’t remember whether its the taste, or how they looked, but I regret that now so much.
But, now since I know, that they are good for me and you, I make a big pan of it once a week. I add it to almost everything.
I added it last night to my bowl of pasta and spaghetti sauce, (it doesn’t have a loud flavor, so it does not change your original dish’s flavor, but you add more punch to your meal)
You can sprinkle some on your salad, or add it to your sandwich. You can add it to your rice and make it a pilaf. So so versatile.
This is the best way I discovered to get sprouts.
Wash the Mung beans a couple times. Then soak them in water for about 8-9 hours (in colder places, soak them in hot water , not boiling). Then drain off the water. And let them sit covered for another 8-9 hours, till you see the little tail-like sprouts.
You can wait, for a few more hours, if your want the sprouts longer. But this is how I like them.
Then I just give it a little boil say 5 minutes, (don’t over boil, or you will lose the crunch). Now they are ready to be used anyway you like it.
P.s. Now I am regretting the coconut pie so much! Bad bad thing to do, especially 2 slices, oh! No retribution though for this act of mine. Just self torture.
