In today’s diverse food market, finding safe, traceable, and clean food sources is no easy feat. Many home cooks share simple recipes to ensure their meals are both safe and wholesome. Among these, bean sprouts are a favorite due to their straightforward preparation and high-quality results.
Recently, a post by Ms. Vũ Phương Liên, a kindergarten teacher from Hanoi, gained traction in a culinary group. She shared her method of growing bean sprouts using a paper milk carton, yielding impressive results after just a few days.
Here’s Ms. Liên’s step-by-step guide to growing bean sprouts using a milk carton:

Ingredients:
– 100g whole green beans
– 1 empty 1-liter paper milk carton
Instructions:
– Rinse the beans thoroughly and soak them overnight.
– Clean the milk carton and let it dry completely.
– After soaking, the beans will have cracked slightly and sprouted. Drain them and place them inside the milk carton, then close the lid.

– Cut two small holes at the top corners of the carton for water drainage and air circulation.
– Water the beans twice daily, morning and evening. Pour water into the carton until the beans are submerged, wait 5-10 minutes, then drain the excess water through the holes.

– After 4-5 days, the carton will feel full and rounded. Cut open the carton, pour the sprouts into a bowl, and rinse off the bean skins to reveal fresh, white, and glossy sprouts.
Tip for keeping bean sprouts fresh longer:
– Place the sprouts in a container, cover them with water, and store them in the refrigerator. This method keeps them fresh and white for up to a week.
According to Ms. Liên, preparing bean sprouts 1-2 times a week ensures a steady supply of fresh, safe sprouts for the whole family.
