mung bean sprouts
Asian stir-fry addition
Mung bean sprouts are the young shoots of germinated mung beans, eaten as a vegetable.
Crisp and mild-flavored, they're a staple in Asian cuisines—stir-fried, added to soups, or used raw in salads and spring rolls: Toss the mung bean sprouts in at the last minute so they stay crunchy.
Often sold simply as "bean sprouts."
