Last week, I watched NHK’s popular program “Tameshite Gatten” and learned how nutritious black bean sprouts (black mappe) are.
I learned that black bean sprouts are better than mung (green )bean sprouts for stir-fries as water from cooked black bean sprouts is fewer than mung bean sprouts, making them less limp and soggy.
After watching the show, I immediately bought some black bean sprouts at the supermarket and tried making a stir-fry with pork meat. It turned out to be very tasty with a firm texture.
I was told that using black bean sprouts is common in Hiroshima Prefecture, the home of “okonomiyaki, Japanese style pancake,” but this was the first time I learned about it.

Bean sprouts are inexpensive in Japan, and it helps the family budget!
At the supermarket near my house, mung bean sprouts took up more space on the sales floor.
But most of the stores had black bean sprouts next to the mung bean sprouts. The price of black bean sprouts is almost the same as that of mung bean sprouts. They are just a little more expensive.
So I think I’ll be using black bean sprouts when I make stir-fries dish from now on!
