1. Choose large, plump and round soybeans, find a small basin of suitable size, put the soybeans in the basin, pour in tap water, and soak the soybeans. Soak until the soybeans look like they have risen (turning from round to oval), then pour away the water. If the room is warm, this process should take about half a day.
2. Find a clean cloth (gauze or cage cloth), soak it in water, and cover it on the fermented beans. There should be no water in the small basin at this time. Then find a warm place to place it. Do not place in direct sunlight. Wait for the beans to sprout.
3. Next, if you see that most of the beans have sprouted, select them carefully and throw away the beans that have not sprouted. Then choose the appropriate pot depending on how many bean sprouts you plan to grow. The best way is to find a pot of a suitable size and with holes underneath. (Ha, the broken pots in life are now useful.) Carefully put the sprouted beans in, and be careful not to knock off the newly emerged beans. Little bud. Then find another basin that is slightly larger than the one just now and does not leak. Put a wooden board or two wooden sticks on the complete pot. In short, place the leaky pot on top. Be careful not to block the leaky hole.
4. Then it’s time to water. When watering for the first time, pour tap water evenly over the beans, trying to get every piece of beans to be watered (remove the gauze when watering). The water flows down through the cracks in the beans, out of the holes in the basin, and into the basin below. When watering in the future, just use the water stored in the basin below. Of course, the water will become less and less. When it is not enough, just add tap water. There is no limit to the number of times you water every day. The more times you water, the faster the bean sprouts will grow.
If the amount of raw bean sprouts is relatively small and you don’t plan to do it in a big way, you don’t need a leaky pot. Just put the sprouted beans into a good pot of suitable size and cover it with a cloth. Every time you water, wait until the water flows from the gaps in the bean sprouts to the bottom of the pot, then pour the water out again. There is no need to keep the water after watering. When watering again, just use new tap water. Be sure to pour it cleanly, otherwise the bean sprouts will rot if water remains at the bottom.
5. When it grows tall enough, it can be eaten. When pulling out the bean sprouts, you can give priority to the places where the bean sprouts grow densely to make room for the bean sprouts below. Pinch off the roots of the bean sprouts and pick out the remaining pods. Wash the bean sprouts and you can cook them.
Note:
1. There must be no oil in the whole process, otherwise the bean sprouts will rot.
2. After each watering, the cloth must be put back as it is, and the cloth must be kept moist.
3. If you want the bean sprouts to grow thicker, you can choose a larger gauze. When covering it, tuck it under the bean sprouts in the basin, that is, cover it more tightly. In this way, the beans will be less likely to grow upward and will not grow into overly slender bean sprouts
