Prepare everything before hand because you may not have time to do anything when you are stir-frying.
Choose fresh soy bean sprouts that are plump and white. Cooked the soy bean sprouts as soon as possible because they only stay fresh a day or two in the refrigerator.
Wash thoroughly the soy bean sprouts under running water before cooking to prevent food poisoning.
