How to prepare Stir-fried Soybean Sprouts

To prepare the stir-fried soybean sprouts, first peel the ginger 1 and cut it into strips 2; then remove the chili pepper stem and slice it into rings, leaving the seeds inside 3.

Heat the wok well over high flame, and once it's scorching, pour in the vegetable oil and then add the ginger 4 and chili pepper 5. Let the ginger and chili pepper brown for a minute, stirring occasionally, then add the soybean sprouts 6 and stir-fry for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly.

Pour in the soy sauce 7 and let it evaporate; once the soy sauce has evaporated, sprinkle the sprouts with water 8 and finish stir-frying them, for a total of about 6 minutes of cooking. Your tasty stir-fried soybean sprouts are ready to be served 9!

Storage

You can store the stir-fried soybean sprouts in the refrigerator, in an airtight container, for up to one day. Freezing is not recommended.

Tip

Enrich the stir-fried soybean sprouts with a crunchy note, like toasted cashews, or a sweet one, for example with dried fruit! If you want, you can transform this tasty side dish into a light main course by adding some pre-cooked noodles and stir-frying them together with the sprouts.

Curiosity

By soybean sprouts, we mean not only the sprouts with a yellowish outgrowth, but also commonly those with a green outgrowth: the latter are mung bean sprouts, also known as green soy or green azuki.
