Vegetarian or Vegan Bean Sprout Salad

Bean sprouts are grown by sprouting mung beans. Mung bean sprouts are extensively cultivated and consumed in East Asia. A common technique for home growers is to put the beans in a jar with a fine mesh or muslin cloth tied over the top with a rubber band or string. Fresh water is then poured into the jar three to four times a day; the jars are then upturned and left to drain.
