Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 cups mung bean sprouts rinsed
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce gluten-free, if preferred
  • 1 tablespoon agave nectar or preferred sweetener
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or saute pan, place the water and mung bean sprouts.
  2. Saute over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, for a few minutes, until sprouts begin to soften slightly.
  3. Add remaining ingredients, saving sesame oil for last.
  4. Continue to cook over medium heat until more than half of the liquid at the bottom of the pan has cooked off. There will be a small amount of liquid left. Do not overcook. It only takes a few minutes. You don't want soggy sprouts!
  5. Cook until sprouts have softened, and soaked up some of your seasonings, but still retain their crunchy middles. Best to keep tasting them throughout the process.
