I’m not sure how many of you are into bean sprouts, but this is a recipe I truly love so…here we go! A super awesome and super easy bean sprouts stir-fry <3
In fact, it’s really quite versatile too!
It’s great with rice, but you can totally eat it on its own, which is what I do most often, because I am too lazy to cook rice sometimes. In fact you can even make a large batch, keep it in the fridge, and eat it cold – kind of like a “salad”. Except that it’s probably not as healthy as a real salad, lol.
Well that’s what I do sometimes :p Better to snack on some bean sprouts than chips, right?!
It is seriously easy. Like I can make this in 10 minutes kinda easy. And it has less than 5 ingredients. Plus it’s cheap. It’s definitely broke vegan approved :p
Actually, you can make this super healthy by sprouting your own sprouts from mung beans! I actually have a sprouting jar but…too lazy. I cannot be saved, I know 😉
For a satisfying meal, I love to eat this bean sprouts stir-fry with rice and another side of protein – usually tempeh or tofu, because, you know. Gotta roll with the Asian theme here.
The pictures show tempeh because…I just love tempeh. But fret not, tofu would be amazing with this too! Go ahead and make a tofu side if you wish, like my Tofu In Ginger Soy Sauce or my Teriyaki Tofu :p
Alright – let’s get to the recipe!

I love bean sprouts! They’re a totally underrated veg, if you ask me. They pair well with such a wide variety of things! Stir frying them really is the way to go, so they can soak up all that delish flavor of the oil and the soy sauce. Can’t wait to try this!
Heh, thanks Alyssa! I agree, it’s so underrated! Plus it’s so easy to cook :p pretty idiot-proof I’d say!
I love bean sprouts raw. People always give me wierd looks when I eat them straight like that haha. I love how this is such a simple recipe, amazing as a side and pushes me to eat my veggies. 🙂
Great post, looks super tasty. I always seem to over buy bean sprouts so now I can make this with them! Can you please tell me how you made the tempeh as I’m new to cooking it. Did you soak it first? Is it marinated? Thxx
Hi Kath, I actually just shallow fry it in a frying pan with oil, that’s it! It can be marinated if you like, but you don’t have to soak it. You can check out my other post 12 Kickass Vegan Tempeh Recipes (http://www.thelazybroccoli.com/12-kickass-vegan-tempeh-recipes/) for ideas on what to do with your tempeh 🙂 I’m a huuuuge fan of them! Hope you enjoy these bean sprouts too! They’re super yummy!

I used to just add beansprouts to the rest of my stir fry but my partner is not keen on them. This recipe is perfect! I’ve made it before and it’s on the menu again this evening!
Thank you Emily! I’m glad that you love it! 🙂
I love sprouts, I fry them up with onion or green onion. You can add beef or pork and celery and soy sauce.
Bean sprouts are actually very healthy. Vitamin C choline and great fiber. If you look it up on Google you will be shocked!.
