Dad and I ventured out to one of the Coops in Portland and came back slightly disappointed. However, we did pick up a bag of mung beans mostly because they looked pretty and had a cool name and they’ve been sitting in the pantry every since. On Wednesday I decided to try my hand at sprouting the little guys. You soak them for 8 hours or so, drain them and then stick them in a jar in somewhere dark. Then you rinse them in water once or twice a day until they’re done and VOILA! Sprouts! They just so happen to be done today and we’re going to stick them in a stir fry.

Day 5
I’m glad I only did a small handful! Any more and they would have turned into the Hulk and busted their way out of the jar.
nom nom nom time for stirfries!
