This salad is a great use for bean sprouts. To make your own sprouts:
Rinse a small handful of mung beans in a jar; cover with cheesecloth;
place jar on its side; rinse beans 2 to 3 times daily and drain off all the
water. The beans will sprout in a few days and triple in volume. Store in
the refrigerator and use within a few days.
