Bean Sprouts Sesame

I think Bean sprouts in general are very underappreciated. Bean Spurts are economical, delicious, yet nutritious. I use Bean Sprouts to add crunchy yet refreshing texture to salad, sandwich, stir-fry, wraps and I love adding bean sprouts to fried rice. I buy a bag of bean Sprouts at Asian grocery store. They are usually fresher and cheaper.

This side dish is very simple. I used this bean sprouts for garnish on Red lentil Pilau. It added extra texture.

1 ½ tbsp sugar
1 tbsp of sesame oil
1 1/2 tbsp of soy sauce

2. toast the sesame seeds for a minute in med heat in frying pan.
