Ingredients

12 ¾ ounces fresh mung bean sprouts
6 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely shredded sui choy (Napa cabbage)
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sesame oil, or more to taste
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
1 teaspoon fish sauce (Optional)
½ teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons grated carrot
1 green onion, finely chopped, or more to taste

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.
Drain water from the pot and run cold water on the sprouts for 1 to 2 minutes. Squeeze bean sprouts with your hands to remove excess water. Place sprouts and cabbage into a mixing bowl and add carrot, green onion, and dressing; mix well.

Cook's Notes:

For a spicy kick, mix in some kimchi (hot pickled vegetables). I mix about 2:1 bean sprout salad with kimchi. Or serve it on the side.

You can substitute Splenda(R) for white sugar, if preferred.
