The sprouts were similar to rice noodles which I love, and the spices and seasonings give it so much flavour.<br /><br />Added a dash of dark soy sauce at the end and enjoyed!Timhttp://www.wheaton.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-26505401013197312802009-07-28T11:41:24.537-04:002009-07-28T11:41:24.537-04:00Ive also been sprouting for over 30 years and as y...Ive also been sprouting for over 30 years and as you said all you need is a collander and white cotton cloth.I would like to give more detail. I soak any of the seed you want for 1 day in a bowl full of water and keep emptying the water off the top and refill until the next day. Then for small seeds only I put one layer of cloth until there big enough to fip into the collander without all the seed going thru the holes, also this saves you from the mess of trying to get the sprouts out of the cloth fibers. Then rinse as often as you can. Important in hot weather, also sprouts dont need light until you clean them for there last time before the fridge as if you like it can geen them up. I also clean by floating them in a large plastic bowl of cool water and carefully agitate them with my finger tips to loosen the seed husks which can be bitter sometimes. The husks float on top of the water and the seeds that are defective are heavy and rest on the bottom. This is more the effect for small seeds. Then I clean off the husks on top by coraling them into pile and dump the water over the edge with the husks a little at a time until most are gone which is seperating them from the cleaner ones.Then scoop the sprouts out of the middle of the water with my fingers like a rake and place them into a collander gently as not to damage the sprouts which makes them rot faster. This leaves the slow sprouting, defective sprouts which usally I throw out. If your really trying to get the most out of your seeds can be seperated and resprouted the but usally to not much avail. If you like very clean sprouts which are I do, you can use this method 2 or 3 times over the sprouting period but be careful as they are delicate. And if you pull the last sprouts out of the collander holes its best keep them seperate and eat asap. Another trick is when you go to refrigerate them, 1st drain well of excess water (finished dripping) and then before putting them to sleep, place white paper towels 3 or 4 towels deep on the bottom of the container (plastic). Then place them carefully, dont pack down this will keep them from rotting much longer and provides a moist but stable envirorment. I know my comment is 1 year later but better late than never!

Since ...My partner and I tried this recipe tonight. Since spice amounts aren't listed, I just put 1 onion, 5 cloves garlic, 1 inch fresh ginger, and a teaspoon of each of the spices. I already had a cup of sprouted lentils on hand, so this dish was a breeze to make. <BR/><BR/>We put it over wild rice. It was delicious!

Maybe I can change his mind by sprouting the lentils, plus he's a big fan of Indian food. I think this might just be the recipe to convert him into lentil-lover.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564005251636500295noreply@blogger.com
