I always think homemade food is the best. And if you make something delicious for your friends and family, it will make everybody happy! Enjoy this recipe! Ingredients (for 2-4 servings): Mung bean sprouts, salt, garlic, green onion, cucumber, sesame seeds, and sesame oil Directions: 1. Wash and drain 12 oz (340 grams: about 3½ cups' worth) of mung bean sprouts in cold water a couple of times until they're clean. Pick out any brownish rotten beans. 2. Put them in a pot and add ½ cup water and ¼ ts salt. 3. Cover the pot and bring to a boil over high heat for 5 mins. 4. Rinse in cold water, strain, and set aside. 5. Cut about 1 cup's worth of seedless cucumbers into matchsticks and put into a bowl. 6. Add ½ ts salt to the cucumbers. Mix and set aside for a few minutes. 7. Squeeze any excess water out of the cooked mung bean sprouts and put them into a mixing bowl. 8. Squeeze any excess water out of the cucumber strips and add them to the sprouts in the mixing bowl. 9. Add 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 chopped green onion, ½ ts salt, 1 ts sesame oil, and 1 ts sesame seeds to the mixing bowl. 10. Mix well by hand. 11. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve with rice.
