It is having crunchy texture and sweet flavor, which makes it popular in other variety of dishes. Bean sprouts have become common thing and is available at any grocery store. At some stores, it is available in raw or half-cooked form. It will be quicker to cook them if they are available in half-cooked form. Preparing at home has become more hygienic. Whenever you want to make them, soak them in water over night with warm place to get them germinated. As they are raise, wash them. After some days, tiny buds will happen to appear.
Few minutes are enough to fry bean sprouts; they should not be fried for long time. I think one minute is more than sufficient to cook it. It will have good colour even then. Over cooked bean sprout will be tasteless.
