Bean Sprout Salad

DIRECTIONS

  • Rinse bean sprouts in cold water and discard any bad sprouts.
  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Plunge bean sprouts and cabbage into the pot and let boil for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, fish sauce, and garlic together in a bowl for dressing.
