Ingredients
1
cup
mung beans
Instructions
Soak mung beans in a bowl of cold water for 12 hours or more.
Drain off all the water. Rinse 2-3 times. Leave the beans in the bowl.
Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and leave for 8 hours.
Rinse sprouts in water and drain off water carefully. Give the sprouts a shake, so that the same sprouts are not stuck on the bottom of the bowl.
Cover again for 8 hours, then rinse and shake.
Repeat step 5 until the tails are about ½-inch long. (If you continue sprouting longer than 2-3 days, you risk mold.)
