About This Recipe

This refreshing and flavorful Soybean Sprout Salad is a perfect balance of crunch, spice, and tang. Tender soybean sprouts and crisp carrot strips are blanched to perfection, then tossed with fresh cilantro, aromatic garlic, and nutty toasted sesame seeds. A savory-sweet marinade of abalone sauce and rice vinegar enhances the dish, while a fragrant drizzle of chili-infused oil—made with dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns—adds a bold, numbing kick. Quick to prepare yet packed with layers of texture and umami, this salad is an irresistible side or light meal. The combination of fresh ingredients and vibrant seasonings makes it a standout dish that’s both healthy and delicious. Perfect for those who love a hint of heat and a burst of freshness in every bite!
