How to Drain Bean Sprouts (and Shredded Cabbage)

This is my mother's secret time-saving technique.Actually, until recently I thought everyone washed bean sprouts like this.She told me that this is way too simple to upload! But I went ahead and did it anyway.Be sure to use bean sprouts that come in plastic bags! Sometimes you see ones sold in paper bags, but the bottoms of the bags tend to fall away so I don't recommend them! In Step 4, when there's just a little water left in the bag, the bean sprouts tend to fall out, so be careful. Recipe by Haranouenoponyoponyo

I wanted to make a dish using lots of cabbage. This is filling even without any meat in it! It really goes well with rice.The seasonings are on the salty side, but they'll be just right when cooked with the vegetables since the vegetables will exude a lot of moisture.When stir-frying the vegetables, add the cabbage at the end so that it doesn't get mushy.This is a matter of taste, but I think it's best if this is salted generously, since the salt enhances the butter and makes the stir fry go really well with plain rice.If you add some meat the stir-fry will be even more delicious. For 3 to 5 servings. Recipe by Nanohana uchan

This method of making namul comes from my many of years of experience when I used to run a restaurant. The texture of the bean sprouts is the same with any method when they're freshly boiled, but there's a big difference after some time has passed. I came up with this method so that the bean sprouts would stay delicious and fresh-looking even after some time.Here are the 7 rules for crispy bean sprout namul!-Start boiling in cold water.-Use as little water as possible.-Once the water comes to a boil, drain the bean sprouts immediately and let them cook through in residual heat.-Don't put the cooked bean sprouts in cold water.-Do not ever squeeze out the bean sprouts.-Coat in sesame oil while they're still hot.-Add the seasonings after they have cooled.

I consulted a cookery book a long time ago to make just several stuffed cabbage rolls. According to it, I had to boil a whole cabbage in a pot. It was too much and I just wanted to use several leaves. It is difficult to remove cabbage leaves without tearing before boiling. Since I thought of this method, I have always been successful.Use a small knife to cut out the hard center core. The leftover cabbage will freshen up because of the water! This is another good point of this method. If a metal blade touches the cut surface of a lettuce, it will discolour. Use a ceramic knife or your hand to cut the leaves from the center core.
