How to Make Bean Sprout Salad Dow Ngah

  1. If using fresh bean sprouts, blanch them by pouring 1 cup of boiling water over 1 cup of bean sprouts in a heatproof bowl.
  2. Let stand for 2 minutes, then drain well in a colander.
  3. If using canned bean sprouts, rinse them thoroughly under cold running water to remove any excess sodium and drain in a colander.
  4. While the bean sprouts drain, prepare the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1/2 cup shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion.
  5. Add the drained bean sprouts to the bowl with the dressing.
  6. Gently toss to combine, ensuring all the bean sprouts are coated.
  7. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds (optional).
