Ingredient substitutions

• Meat- the recipe uses shrimp as the protein source and for flavor. Diced pork or crispy tofu are also delicious alternatives.
• Vegetables- carrots and green beans are added for extra color, texture, and nutrition. Feel free to add or substitute celery, snow peas, shitake mushrooms, or scallions.
• Seasonings- fish sauce adds umami flavor; you can swap it with oyster sauce for a salty and sweet taste. Season generously with freshly-ground pepper for a flavor punch.

How to serve and store

• This bean sprouts stir-fry is best served freshly cooked as it tends to lose its crispness over time.
• It's delicious as a main or side dish with steamed rice, fried fish, or grilled meat.
• To store leftovers, allow them to cool completely and transfer to a container with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 days. Unfortunately, this dish does not freeze well.
• To reheat, place in a wide pan over high heat and stir regularly until completely heated.
• You can also use leftovers as filling for lumpiang prito to enjoy as midday merienda throughout the day.

Instructions

• In a wok or wide, heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat, heat oil. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
• Add shrimp and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 to 2 minutes or just until color changes.
• Add fish sauce and cook for about 1 minute.
• Add carrots and green beans and cook, stirring regularly, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until tender yet crisp.
• Add bean sprouts and cook, stirring regularly, for about 1 to 2 minutes or just until heated through.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove immediately from heat and serve hot.

Notes

• A delicious ginisang togue is not only about the flavor but also texture. Make sure to cook on high heat so the vegetables stir-fry nicely instead of steaming into a soggy mess.
• Drain the vegetables well and do not add any liquid during cooking as the bean sprouts have a high water content and will dispel liquid as they cook.
• Stir-fry the bean sprouts briefly, just until they're heated through. To keep them as crisp as possible, take them off the heat while still a bit raw as they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
