Grow Mung Bean Sprouts and make Egg Foo Young with them

Growing sprouts is fun, yummy, and so much better than buying them at the store!

Step 1 Step one to growing sprouts

Sift through and rinse the beans before using them! Place a damp paper towel in the bottom of a dish and play the beans in a SINGLE layer. Sprouts like damp dark places, so place something over the bowl (I used chop sticks and criss-crossed them) and a towel over the bowl to keep the sprouts in the dark- or place them in a cabinet.

Where is the best place to get the beans from?

I like http://www.bulkfoods.com/beans.asp for getting bulk orders. Give Adzuki beans a try, they take about twice as long to sprout, but are very high in protein.

I buy them at the grocery store in the Asian food section :)
