All things ‘beany’, especially bean sprouts and tofu are very popular in oriental cuisine. Bean sprout salad in a peanut chilli dressing is a tongue-tickling salad of bean sprouts and red capsicum tossed with a tangy and crunchy sauce of garlic, red chillies, soy sauce and peanuts, and garnished with fresh spring onions. Serve the salad as soon as you toss it, to ensure best texture and flavour, and to avoid sogginess.
