Recipes with Bean sprouts
5 recipes
There are 5 recipes here that use Bean sprouts, and every one of them is scored against what is actually in your fridge before it is shown. The quickest is Bean Sprouts with Tofu at 12 minutes; the longest, Clear Chicken Soto, takes 55. 3 of them finish in twenty minutes or less, which is usually what matters on a weeknight.
None of these need an oven, an air fryer, or a microwave — a stove and a pan is enough. 2 are vegetarian. 2 are properly spicy.
Bean sprouts turns up most often alongside Tofu, Soy sauce, Chicken egg and Spring onion — if you have one or two of those as well, more of this list becomes cookable tonight rather than after a shopping trip. Add what you have to your fridge and the recipes reorder themselves around it, with anything missing collected into a shopping list.
