    Instructions

    Thoroughly wash mung bean sprouts and chives. Drain excess water.

    Add vegetable oil to a wok or non-stick pan and heat to medium-high heat. 

    Once the oil is hot, add minced ginger and cloves of garlic, and sauté until fragrant. If the wet aromatics are burning too quickly, reduce to medium heat.

    You may opt to add dried shrimp to the wok to add umami!

    Add Birds Eye chili or dried chili flakes.

    Add bean sprouts followed by Shaoxing wine, sugar, salt and pepper. You can also add baby clams, sliced lean pork or Chinese bacon if desired. Sliced firm or smoked tofu is equally delicious. Then quickly stir fry a few rounds.

      Ok I love bean sprouts, but I've had a hard time getting the family on board until now.
      We omitted the chilies because of the little ones; but it didn't make this dish any less wonderful. It is so simple and so flavourful. A total hit!
