Ingredients
2.2 lbs (1kg) bean sprouts
4 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
300g (10 oz) Chinese chives, well-washed, cut into 2 inches lengths

Recipe

Wash bean sprouts well. Drain them.

Mix a liter of water, sugar and salt. Boil, remove foam and leave to cool.

Combine chives and jalapeno pepper pieces with bean sprouts and put them in a glass pot. Add water mixed with sugar and salt. Notice that the bean sprouts must be drowned in water, so press them down by putting a dish and a stone on them. Tightly cover the pot.

Pickled bean sprouts can be used after a day. People usually serve this dish with braised pork with eggs and coconut juice.
