Ingredients
- 300 grams bean sprouts
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 stalk green onion (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under cold water. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 3
If using green onion for garnish, thinly slice it and set aside.
Step 4
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Step 5
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 6
Add the bean sprouts to the pan and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the bean sprouts. Sprinkle in the salt and ground black pepper. Toss well to combine.
Step 8
Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the bean sprouts are crisp-tender. Avoid overcooking, as they should retain a slight crunch.
Step 9
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Step 10
Garnish with sliced green onion, if desired, and serve immediately.
