Sichuan sprouts have an effervescent and a slightly tickling effect on the palate.They ever so slightly anesthetize the palate, which gives them the intriguing culinary possibilities.
To germinate seeds, the first thing you have to do is soak them in a jar filled with water and leave for 24 hour. Then drain and wash the seeds and let them dry thoroughly in a bottle upside down over a net or strainer to prevent the seeds falling out. After 12 hours drying, you can sow the seeds in a pot with soil. Water on a daily basis and cover in black plastic for the first 3 days. Then leave them for 3-4 days in the sun. You can also grow the sprouts in the original glass jar, away from the sun, and with enough moisture for the seeds to germinate. You’ll need to open the jar every 3-4 hours to air out the seeds to prevent mold. You can also germinate the seeds between two damp dishcloths and keep these cloths in a box away from sunlight over the first 3 days .
Our guest chefs bring you their unique and personal take on food.
