How to Make Crispy Stir-Fried Mung Bean Sprouts with Chives

1. Rinse and Drain

Begin by rinsing and draining the mung bean sprouts. This ensures they are clean and ready to absorb the flavors of the dish.

2. Heat Wok

Heat your wok or skillet over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates within 1-2 seconds of contact. This temperature is crucial for stir-frying.

3. Add Oil and Ginger

Add the Scallion Oil or vegetable oil to the hot wok and swirl it around to coat the surface evenly. Once the oil is shimmering, add the minced ginger and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until it releases its fragrant aroma.

4. Add Chiles

Next, add the dried red chiles and stir-fry them for another 30 seconds. This step infuses the oil with a gentle heat and a smoky flavor.

5. Add Chives

Add the Chinese garlic chives or scallions to the wok and stir-fry for about 10 seconds until they start to wilt. The wilting indicates they are ready to combine with the other ingredients.

6. Add Sprouts

Now, turn the heat to high and add the mung bean sprouts. Stir-fry them for about 1 minute, keeping the sprouts moving constantly to ensure they cook evenly. The high heat ensures the sprouts remain crisp while they absorb the flavors from the oil and aromatics.

7. Season

Season the dish with kosher salt and MSG, stirring to combine everything thoroughly. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

8. Serve

Finally, transfer your stir-fried mung bean sprouts and chives to a serving dish and serve immediately while they are still hot and crispy. Enjoy this simple yet flavorful dish as a side or a light main course.
