I couldn't help but buying lunch when I had morning sickness… But I was discouraged by the preservatives and besides, I wanted to save up! That's when I discovered bean sprouts, and got inspired to make an easy dish. Using potato mochi dumplings as an example, I added katakuriko starch to hold everything together.

It will be easier to eat if you break the bean sprouts into really small pieces in Step 1. When mixing other vegetables in Step 2, take care to microwave any that are harder to cook. That's because you don't fry them for too long on the pan. Recipe by Shi- mama
