Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rinse the mung beans under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a pot, add the mung beans and cover them with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat and let the mung beans simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until they are tender but not mushy.
- Drain and set aside.
- Chop the 1/2 onion and the celery stalk.
- Mince the garlic cloves and grate or mince the ginger.
- Slice the red hot chili peppers.
- Chop the broccoli into florets.
- Julianne or slice the carrots.
- Slice the red bell pepper and the small onion.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped 1/2 onion and celery. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
- Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and sliced red hot chili peppers. Stir fry for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets, julienned carrots, and sliced red bell pepper. Stir fry for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Add the sliced small onion to the skillet or wok and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce and brown sugar until the sugar is dissolved.
- Pour the soy sauce mixture over the vegetables and toss to coat.
- Add the cooked mung beans. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
- Sprinkle the stir fry with 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Divide the vegetable stir fry with mung bean noodles into serving bowls.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
Tips:
- Soaking Mung Beans: To ensure the mung beans cook evenly and quickly, soak them in water for 4-6 hours or overnight before cooking. This also helps improve their digestibility.
- Cut Vegetables Uniformly: Try to chop the vegetables into similar sizes to ensure they cook evenly. This will also give the stir fry a cohesive texture.
- Control the Heat: Stir frying is all about maintaining high heat. Prepare all your ingredients before starting to cook, as the process moves quickly. Stir the vegetables continuously to prevent them from burning.
- Experiment with Sauces: Feel free to adjust the soy sauce and brown sugar according to your taste. You can also add a splash of rice vinegar or a drizzle of sesame oil for additional flavor.
- Add protein: If you want to add some protein to this vegetarian dish, consider adding tofu, tempeh, or even slices of cooked chicken or shrimp.
