beansprout
Crunchy salad addition
A beansprout is the young shoot of a germinated bean, typically mung bean or soybean, eaten as a vegetable.
Pale, crunchy, and mild-flavored, beansprouts appear frequently in Asian cooking—stir-fries, pad thai, pho, spring rolls: Add the beansprouts at the last minute so they stay crisp.
Also spelled as two words: bean sprout.
