Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandma's Secret Trick
Grandpa didn't like the assertive taste of fresh bean sprouts, so Grandma had a trick to tone down the flavor. She brought a large saucepan of water to a boil, added the bean sprouts and cooked them for about 10 seconds. She drained the bean sprouts, then rinsed them in cold water. The brief boiling tames the flavor of the bean sprouts but keeps their texture crispy.
