Step 1

In a large pot, add 4 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add in the bean sprouts and boil for 1 minute. Drain the bean sprouts and immediately place in an ice bath to cool for 5 minutes. Drain bean sprouts again in a colander and set aside.

Step 2

Meanwhile, make the seasoning. In a small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic, and whisk or mix to combine. Stir in the sesame seeds.

Step 3

Place the bean sprouts in a large mixing bowl and toss with the green onions and the seasoning until well combined. Serve with extra sprinkles of sesame seeds and chopped scallions. Serve as a small starter salad for an Asian meal.
