  1. Rinse the mung beans (soaked or sprouted) in a big bowl.

Notes

You can other cooked vegetables to the mix. Carrots, beets, boiled potatoes go especially well. Zhoug sauce is a spicy middle eastern condiment made with cilantro, garlic and spices. You can find them at Trader Joes. Mint coriander chutney is an Indian condiment made with cilantro and green chilies. I have linked the recipe to the post.
