Blanched Bean Sprout Recipe

Darling loves eating Nga Choi Kai (Bean Sprouts Chicken) and we pay like RM2 for a plate of blanched beansprout which I think is ridiculous knowing how cheap beansprout is in the market!

As usual, I’ll try to learn to prepare dishes that either Darling or Ethan loves. Yesterday, I tried dishing out blanched beansprout and I think it’s quite alright as Darling said I managed to get the correct texture with the right crunch! Weeet!

Ingredients:

* Bean Sprout

* Sesame Oil

* Soy Sauce

* Oyster Sauce

* White Pepper

* Spring onion for garnishing

Method:

To blanch bean sprouts, bring water to boil.

Blanch for like 10 seconds? Drain and plunge into cold water.

Drain again before using.

Drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, and a smidge of white pepper.

Garnish with spring onions and golden garlic/onion.

Serve.

    • //

  • //

    Yummmmm!!!! I love bean sprouts like that – nice and crunchy, not overcooked.

    • //

      Same same! Me love it that way too <3

  • //

    Oh, we just had this a few days ago… love it too! The blanching part is easy but I just can’t get the seasoning right… it just doesn’t taste the same. I guess the missing ingredient must be MSG haha :p

    • //

      Sometimes I cheat and add a lil oyster sauce! ^_^

  • //

    Sedap! Yes, it’s very cheap in the market…RM2 can have lots of plates of nga choi at home :)

    • //

      Can have it at least THREE times!

  • //

    Nothing worths more than an acknowledgement and compliment by your own spouse. Thumbs up!

    • //

      :D

  • //

    i love nga choi..but i hate the peeling backside part…u know the tail..normally u need to tear it off. so i will hv my nga choi at the stores ;p

    • //

      I know! When I was younger I dreaded the time my mom came back from market. Surely we kena remove the taugeh’s end… @_@

  • //

    Yes that is how I cook it too…. either quick stir fry or just blanch and season! :-)

    • //

      I used to stir fry but William doesn’t like it. Now I blanch it, he likes :D

  • //

    your husband must be very happy to have such a good wife like you! =P

    • //

      Nah.. he’s suffering! He wished he can still eat out instead of me trying to feed him my COOKING! :D

  • //

    What coincidence! I just took a plate of bean sprouts this evening… but not home cooked but eaten in coffeeshop!

    • //

      Bean sprouts are good. Cheap and nutritious :)

  • //

    Stir fried taugeh…i love it. Simple n easy to cook.

    • //

      Mery,

      I did not stir fry it. I blanched it. William does not fancy the stir fried version :)

  • //

    yummeh! Hubster loves this too and he thinks its absurd to pay so much for what is so cheap to buy and cook. I supposed the skills part is expensive?

    Gonna try this soon with some claypot rice that I am thinking of cooking:D But I need to find those fat stubby sprouts like those we eat in Ipoh. Any idea where to get it in KL?

  • //

    this has been on our weekly dinner menu. my family loves to eat this. very easy to prepare n healthy :)

  • //

    Yumz!! so its bean sprout for our dinner tomorrow!
