Brilio.net - Bean sprouts are often a choice of practical and healthy food ingredients. Their high nutritional content, such as vitamin C, fiber, and protein, makes them a popular addition to various dishes, from stir-fries to salads. In addition, bean sprouts are also easy to find and quick to process, making them a favorite choice for many people who want to eat healthy without the hassle.
However, even though it is easy to cook, bean sprouts can be a problem if you do not pay attention to how to cook them. Often, when bean sprouts are cooked for too long, especially when stir-fried, the texture can become soft and lose its crispiness. This not only reduces the enjoyment of eating, but can also affect the overall taste of the dish.
To get the right results, bean sprouts should be cooked quickly using high heat to keep them crispy and fresh. Do not saute them for too long to maintain their texture. But instead of having to use such a troublesome technique, you can use another trick that is more practical.
An Instagram user @zelinenaila once revealed it further through one of the videos she uploaded. She admitted that it only takes 1 minute to cook bean sprouts . With this trick, bean sprouts can remain crispy and not mushy, you know. This certainly enhances the taste of bean sprouts.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @zelinenaila on Tuesday (28/1), the bean sprouts to be used only need to be boiled briefly for 30 seconds. The method is to boil water in a pan until it boils. Then place 250 grams of bean sprouts that have been washed clean in a frying strainer. After that, dip the strainer into the pan until the bean sprouts are submerged and boil for only 30 seconds. Then lift and drain.
Immediately transfer the bean sprouts onto a plate. Add 1 sachet of garlic powder, 1/2 tsp of pepper powder, and 1/2 tsp of salt. After that, stir until all the spices are evenly distributed throughout the bean sprouts.

Once done, heat the oil in a frying pan. Then add the sliced shallots and chilies. Saute both of these ingredients until fragrant and cooked. Then remove the sauteed shallots and chilies, then transfer them to the plate containing the bean sprouts. Stir again until well mixed. That way, the stir-fried bean sprouts are ready to be prepared.
