Thanks Jude. Here's how I do bean sprouts. You can use any beans you
want. I just happen to prefer mung beans. Rinse the beans then pour
into an opague container such as a sour cream container. Cover with
warm water, put the lid on just to cover but not tight, set aside for an
hour or two. Drain and set container into dark cabinet. Keep the lid
on but not tight to help preserve humidity level in the container.
Rinse once or twice daily. Let sprouts grow to desired height. Rinse
and use for stir fries, salads, or sandwiches. If you start another
container a couple of days later you can have a continuous supply of
bean sprouts. Enjoy
