Natasha, the dish looks very appetizing! I wanted to ask, what do these sprouts taste like? Did I understand correctly that these are mung bean sprouts or not? Mash seems to be called women mung?

Mag, I really want to think that when you prepared this dish, you helped me learn about mung and its use, in any case - thank you, you are a real friend! I really liked the cooking process itself, its sequence, the idea with instant noodles, sake - it actually brought this dish closer to Asian cuisine, well, everything was excellent and well thought out, clever girl! Yes, you correctly noted that it is better to put all the products together in advance, since the cooking time also plays an important role here))) Well done women, no one taught them this, what it means to create love (not necessarily for a man, there are so many varieties!)

Irish, mung beans, I would say, do not have a distinct taste: sweetish, slightly bean-like. In this dish, you won’t be able to discern any individual taste from this particular ingredient (as with instant noodles) - they gain flavor from the sauce. The main thing with sprouts is how they crunch. Not the taste, but the “feeling when biting”, in short. They are introduced at the very end in such a way that they do not have time to become friable from the high temperature, but are still perceived as something elastic and fresh.

I guessed it right, Shur, this time I bought mung sprouts solely for your sake. Well, they had to be put into action somewhere?! Look in big stores, look. I don’t know, maybe the situation has changed now, but 11 and 9 years ago, in large cities, sprouts were definitely sold in large supermarkets. I don’t know which ones, mung or soy, but I just remember that I also used them in Russia several times. 9 years ago I cooked exactly this dish there, then all the ingredients for it were absolutely on sale.

It’s a pity that I’ve already left St. Petersburg, but I’ll be back there soon and I’ll definitely take a look, thank you, Mag!

A-a-a-a, cool! I love Asian cuisine and instant noodles! But it never occurred to me to combine them) Friends always mock me when I confess my love for these noodles, they say: what kind of cook are you if you eat this rubbish. Now I know how to answer them. Thanks a lot!
