Method 2 Steps

1

Blanch or steam the bean sprouts for 1-2 minutes to reduce the risk of harmful bacteria. They can be eaten raw, but blanching or steaming is safer while preserving crunchiness. Transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking, then drain well and gently squeeze out excess water.
2

In a salad bowl, toss the bean sprouts with all remaining ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately. Avoid refrigerating for long periods.
