INGREDIENTS TIPS
BEAN SPROUTS – FOOD SAFETY 101
- Bean sprouts should be purchased as closely to the day you will prepare and eat them – I do not recommend buying them well in advance! Once purchased, you should be using them within 1-2 days, MAX.
- When buying bean sprouts, you should be looking for crispness and avoiding any that look wilted or mushy. Get them in the refrigerator as soon as you get home.
- Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soup BEFORE and AFTER handling them.
- Rinse the sprouts thoroughly under cool water and don’t let them get in contact with any other raw foods.
- Make sure to wash anything you used to clean or prepare the bean sprouts (cutting board, knives, utensils, etc). Food safety is KEY when handling them!
RECIPE TIPS
COLD WATER IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING BLANCHING
Once your bean sprouts have been blanched, make sure to run them under cold water immediately! You want to stop the cooking process and keep them as crisp as possible.
DRY YOUR BEAN SPROUTS
You want to dry your bean sprouts as much as possible to prevent watering down the marinade. I like to lay out a paper towel and put the bean sprouts on top and pat them dry.
STORAGE
You can store these in an airtight container for up to one week in the refrigerator!
