Taste & Role
Texture in stir-fries and noodle toppings.
What it is
Mung bean sprouts cook in under a minute — anything longer turns them limp. Stir-fry over maximum heat with vinegar and scallion, or scatter raw over noodle soups for crunch. Buy crisp, white, unsprayed-looking sprouts and use within two days.
