| 2261.2 | more on sprouts... | ISLNDS::COLELLA | Does Uranus have an aurora? | Fri Feb 16 1990 15:46 | 5 | 
|  |     Any health food store will have the seeds.  I like the radish sprouts.
    They have a nice zing to them.

|  |     Here's a recipe that I have used. It's off the label of a can of
    beansprouts, but I can't imagine that you couldn't use fresh sprouts.
    *Note: amounts are British standard - so you might need to convert.
    Generally, I think the British TSP and TBSP is larger than the
    American.
    
    Bean Sprouts: (serves 2-3)
    
    6 oz. bean sprouts
    2-3 spring onions
    1 clove crushed garlic
    1 TBSP vegetable oil
    4 TBSP chicken stock
    1 TSP cornflour (US = Cornstarch)
    Pinch salt and sugar.
    Rinse/drain beansprouts. Cut onions into a 1 1/2" lengths. Combine
    cornflour, salt and sugar with stock in a bowl. Heat oil in wok or
    frying pan - when hot, fry garlic until golden. Discard garlic. Add
    beansprouts to hot oil and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add onions and stir
    to mix. Add seasoned chicken stock and bring to a boil. Serve on heated
    dish.

| 2261.4 | how long will they keep? | LUDWIG::BING |  | Tue May 29 1990 06:47 | 7 |

    Question:
           I bought twp pkg's of Mung beansprouts. Within two days
           they had turned brown. Are they still usable? I kept them
           in a zip lock bag in the crisper in the fridge. Thanks in
           advance........

|  |     I don't think they will kill you but I wouldn't want to eat them. 
    
    You really can't keep them very long but two days is a little soon to
    have them spoil.

    No, they don't last very long. I find that either leaving them uncovered
    or putting them in a paper bag helps. Make sure they're dry too.

| 2261.7 | To keep them beansprouts fresh! | PRSIS4::CHEW |  | Thu Oct 04 1990 09:01 | 7 | 
|  |     You'll probably find that if you put them in a bowl of cold water and
    put it in the fridge, they will keep for a couple of days.  Remember to
    change the water daily (as it might turn yucky otherwise).
