Crispy bean sprouts! With garlic and ginger, even plain bean sprouts become satisfyingly flavorful! Thank you for making this recipe popular on 1/11/2014 and 9/11!
The story behind this recipe
I used to love the bean sprout ramen from a ramen shop I used to visit. Sometimes I crave it, but since I rarely eat Chinese noodles now, I made a lighter version with my favorite somen noodles.
