Tasty Beef and Bean Sprouts
Vietnamese cuisine like to put bean sprouts in their noodle soup dish called pho, while Chinese people prefer to use bean sprouts to make a variety of stir-fry dishes. This beef and bean sprouts dish is a good example of it.
You could replace the beef with pork or chicken, no matter what kind of meat you use, the cooking method will be almost the same.
My personal preference is to have the bean sprouts to be soft at the end, if you like them to be crunchy, then feel free to reduce the cooking time by a little bit.
Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.
I hope you enjoy making this tasty beef and bean sprouts at home. If you like this recipe, please leave a rating and share it with your friends!
