Stir-fried sprouts are one of the absolute easiest sides to throw together for a meal with an Asian flair. Garlic and red pepper flakes give the sprouts a pop of flavor while keeping them subtle enough to go with any sort of seared meat or seafood.

    This worked great as a bed for an asian-style grilled salmon fillet. Easy and delicious all around!

  2. calista REVIEW:

    Easy easy easy! I've used bean sprouts in recipes before but never as the main ingredient so this was a helpful guide. Good flavor.

  3. tbr1999 REVIEW:

    This recipe is done in about 90 seconds! It's a great side dish that you can just throw together and serve along whatever you want quickly. The asian market near me has really good fresh sprouts so I make this often. Served it last night alongside a simple teriyaki salmon. My whole dinner was ready in about 20 minutes.
