Instructions

  1. Select yellow bean sprouts from the north if available, as they are superior in quality.
  2. Prepare the sprouts by one of two methods:
  3. Method 1: Toss with vinegar (醋摟 — vinegar-braising technique).
  4. Method 2: Braise with dried shrimp.
  5. Serve immediately upon cooking. If allowed to sit, the color and flavor will both deteriorate.
