Bring the water to a boil in a large pot. In the meantime, rinse the sprouts and discard any bad ones. Place the sprouts in the pot, cover, and blanch for 2 to 3 minutes. Immediately transfer to a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain and squeeze out any excess water
Place the sprouts in a medium bowl. Add the green onions, garlic, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and salt and combine. Serve warm or chilled. Store leftovers in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days
Notes
NOTES: This recipe uses salt to season the bean sprouts instead of soy sauce so that the subtle color of the sprouts is preserved
