For this you will need to sprout some beans.
Simply place them in water over night.
The next day lay out a pan and cover it with paper towels.
Leave the beans on it and moisten the towel. Every 12 hours add some more water.
Depending on your beans it will take a while for them to sprout and grow. Let them grow as much as you feel like. The green is edible and the roots are too. This example is 3 days.
In order not to sog them down, I steamed them in my steaming pot which is basically a pot that holds a steam pot and then is covered by a lid. I steamed them for 3 minutes then tasted to make sure the bean had a nice softness but still had a little crunch.
While that is happening I chopped up some items for the salad. Basically use whatever you have. I used tomatoes, cucumber, green onion, avocado and then chopped some Cilantro for the added freshness. I also grated some carrot since I had some.
The sprouted beans come out a little soggy, so I quickly flash fried them to dry off the water. When you are done either leave it to cool in the freezer for a cold salad or simply add it hot for a hot salad.
Throw it all around with some fresh lemon/lime juice, some salt and spices.
For an added kick you can add some tabasco? or Cholula or nothing more.
