Hello everyone!
Welcome to another edition of my recipes. Today, I am sharing about a simple
dish that is a favorite in my household. We love bean sprouts, who wouldn´t love them, they are healthy. According to Healthline.com sprouts are richer in protein, folate, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and vitamins C and K. Further, they’re rich in many nutrients. They’re also said to improve your digestion and blood sugar levels, and possibly even fend off heart disease.
As one favorite vegetable...
Whenever I go to the supermarket, I always look for fresh supply and this is one vegetable I always get. It is so versatile that it is not boring to have on the table. I can use it in salad, as fillings in Spring Rolls or simply make a stir-fried dish mixed with other veggies on hand. Just have a look at the end dish, does it not look delish?!
To shorten the cooking time, I prepare the ingredients beforehand. When all ingredients are ready, you are simply done with half the cooking time. The Sprouts and a couple of broccoli flowers (optional) have been blanched for about 2 minutes to get rid of any microorganism lurking in them. By means of blanching vegetables, it can take away bitterness as well as retains the vitamins as well as its color. For broccoli, when I steam the flowerets, I have a ready container with cold water and ice, the ice retains the green color of the broccoli.
