Prepare mung beans on the first day
I use organic mung beans, you can use other mung beans
Soaking water
Some people will use 50-60 degrees Celsius water to soak beans
But if you do a small amount at home, you don't need to do that
However, beans that have been soaked in hot water are particularly prone to reddening, so you must be careful to avoid light.
The mung bean skin starts opening up after a day, we start to sprout
Ordinary steamer, everyone has it at home.
Wet the gauze in advance, it is easier to absorb water in a while
Beans are spread on the top
Wrap it
Or put another cloth, just don't be too thick, because it needs to be breathable
Then watering
Water it in the morning and evening like this in the next 3-4 days.
Doesn't need too much water, and the water in the pot should not be over the beans.
Close the lid
This cover is made of glass, light can come through, so I put on a cloth.
The next day....The it is sprouting already
The third day...
It looks like this on the fourth day
It is done on the fifth day.
Because I took pictures, it exposed to the light
So you see that its color has turned red.
For a while, I will show you the bean sprouts that are completely grow in the dark.
Another setup is similar to the principle of the steamer
But every time you have to dump excess water
If there is no steamer, nor leaking basket.
You can use a big bowl, like this
You need to make sure that the excess water is drained.
this batch was grown in the complete dark
You see it did not turn red.
By now, I guess you can conclude
The three points in growing bean sprouts: moisturizing, breathable and protected from light
Breathing means that the beans should not be soak underwater, and the container should not be too tightly closed.
If you want them grow to the same length, use a flat container
This is the same method in a frying pan
But I put some weight on it on the third day
This way, the bean sprouts will be slightly thicker.
I use organic mung beans, the beans themselves are relatively small.
You can use ordinary mung beans, which will be thicker.
The bean sprouts are ready, we cut some Chinese chives
Open a bottle of oyster sauce and make a side dish
Pot oil
After the oil is hot, add the bean sprouts and stir fry a few times.
Put in the Chinese chives and continue to stir fry
When the bean sprouts are just cooked, turn off the heat
Put a spoonful of oyster sauce
there is salt in the oyster sauce, I will not add more salt
Stir fry evenly
Bean sprouts, Chinese chives, and oyster sauce, just 3 ingredients
But the taste is very delicious
Oyster sauce is a savory seasoning
Many people use oyster sauce for making dumpling fillings or braising to increase its umami taste.
In fact, it is used for relatively light vegetarian dishes.
As the main flavor
This is the kind of the dish which showcases its amazing flavor
I am Xiao Gaojie, thank you for watching, we will see you next time.
