How to Grow Mung Bean Sprouts in Singapore
Mung bean sprouts can be grown indoors throughout the year in Singapore. Mung beans absorb a considerable amount of water and expand rapidly during germination, so use a sufficiently large sprouting container and avoid overcrowding the seeds.
- Prepare the sprouting jar.
Place approximately 4–6 tablespoons of mung bean sprouting seeds into a clean, sufficiently large glass sprouting jar or other suitable sprouting container. - Soak the seeds.
Cover the mung beans generously with cool, clean water and soak for approximately 6–8 hours. - Drain and rinse.
Pour away the soaking water and rinse the beans thoroughly with fresh, cool water. - Position for drainage.
If using a jar, position it upside down at an angle so excess water can drain while allowing air to circulate around the developing sprouts. - Rinse regularly.
Rinse the developing sprouts with fresh water approximately every 8–12 hours and drain thoroughly after every rinse. Do not allow the beans to remain sitting in standing water. - Harvest.
Mung bean sprouts are commonly ready approximately 3–4 days after soaking. Give the finished sprouts a final rinse, drain thoroughly and refrigerate promptly in a clean container.
Flavour & Uses
Mung bean sprouts have a mild, fresh and slightly sweet flavour with a distinctive crisp, crunchy texture. Their stems become thicker and more substantial than fine leafy sprouts such as alfalfa, broccoli or clover.
Harvested mung bean sprouts can be used in stir-fries, noodle dishes, soups, curries, rice bowls, salads, wraps and fresh spring rolls. For cooked dishes, add the sprouts towards the end of cooking if you prefer to retain more of their characteristic crunch.
