How to Beans (such as Moong Beans)

Mung bean sprouts are the same sprouts you find in many Chinese and Thai dishes, but we don't allow them to grow as much, so they are smaller, and the bean is left more intact.

How to Beans (such as Moong Beans)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup mung beans
  • 2 or more cups water

Instructions

  1. Put the 1 cup of dry mung beans in a bowl, cover with at least 2 cups water, if not more. The beans will double in size, you do not want any to escape the water as they expand.

  2. Let soak for about 4 hours.

  3. Drain the water from the beans. Wrap them in a paper towel, or tea towel. There should be enough water left on the beans to dampen the paper towel, if not, you may dampen the towel a bit.

  4. Place in a colander in a bowl, cover with a dark towel or plate so they are not exposed to light. Allow them to sit overnight or for at least eight hours until they are sprouted to the extent that you like. You can let them keep growing, but if you wait too long they tend to mold.
