Beans sprouts do not have any strong flavour and therefore can easily adopt to the other ingredients they are cooked with. The difficulty is that they are very tender vegetable and cannot stand up to much cooking. You can cook them only for a short while say 4 to 5 minutes. If overcooked they will become wilted and mushy.

Bean sprouts spoil quickly. They do not refrigerate well. If you refrigerate,
do not leave it for longer than a day. If blanched or lightly boiled it could
be left in the fridge overnight and then used in the salad in the same way as
the fresh sprouts.

Soy Bean Sprouts Stir-fry
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Soy Bean Sprouts |
Soy bean sprout is very similar to green bean (mung) sprout but it has a stronger taste than the latter. Here is a very simple recipe for soy bean sprout sir-fry.
Onion, leeks and garlic |
Ingredients
Preparation
In most restaurants they will remove the head and root of the sprouts.This is because the sprout stems will look like noodles when stir-fried and therefore will blend well with noodle recipes. The head, the seed part, has a strong taste and the root is slightly hard.If you buy tender sprouts the roots will not be hard. But in the super-market shelf or in your refrigerator the sprouts will continue to grow and the roots may become harder.
If you like you can remove the head and the roots. I have not removed them because they are very nutritious. You can use the head and the root when making juice.
Method
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or a wok and add onions and fry in low heat for 5 minutes.2. Add sliced garlic cloves and leeks and continue to fry for another 5 minutes.
3. Add the sprouts, fish sauce and the stock and cook covered for 10 minutes or until the stock evaporates.By this time the sprouts will be well cooked.
4. Turn off the heat and dish out the stir-fry.
5. Serve as a side dish or with rice.
