So here it is. I had none of the necessary ingredients, a cranky baby, no car. But, I also had a craving and an unsettled mind. And use real butter's post got me thinking. Trimming the ends could be a mind clearing moment. So, I went to it. I took a bag of mung beans and sat trimming the ends. Active meditation and spicy pick me up all rolled up into one dish. (Thanks Jen/ use real butter for the inspiration.)

Sounds delicious with coriander and cumin!
Sometimes these kinds of adventures turn out the best food - kitchen meditation is so therapeutic!
This looks so fresh and delicious! I really like bean sprouts but never know what to do with them besides stir fry. Now I know!
This is a delicious way to meditate:) I have never thought of trimming the mung bean sprouts:)Thanks for the recipe.
I didn't know these are Indian! I adore bean sprouts. Love this recipe!
This sounds nice and refreshing. I know what you mean about doing mindless tasks. Trimming bean sprouts is right up there with de-stringing snow peas.
