About


This is a simple and quick recipe which can be ready in minutes. However, this inexpensive yet vitamin rich  dish is commonly served in Chinese Asian home may look easy to make but might not be easy to master. Good stir-fry bean sprouts are when bean sprouts just nicely cooked with crunchy texture and no raw taste. This dish if overcooked it becomes soggy and not appealing at all. So, the key which also is the foundation to Chinese stir-fry is to heat up wok/skillets on really high heat with hot oil and quickly toss in bean sprouts for few minutes and dish up.
