Bean Sprout and Vinegar Salad

On my sister blog, High Plains Harvest, I have an article on growing sprouts. I've been making sprouts off an on for about a year. The most popular sprouts I make are mung bean and alfalfa sprouts. Not that I know much what to do with them, though.

While reading Dr. Miller's Jungle Effect (previously reviewed), I found a sprout recipe that I recently tried. This dish is excellent and I reproduce it here (without permission, but I am plugging her book). Be sure to use the sesame oil, even though it is such a small amount; that little bit goes a long way and it really makes the dish delicious. You can eat this dish cold, hot, or room temperature.
