SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH BEAN SPROUTS/TAUGEH

     Taugeh - Moong Bean Sprout is a versatile and one of the most commonly used ingredients in South East Asian Cooking. Scrambled Eggs with Bean Sprouts is a simple stir fry prepared by combining Eggs & Bean Sprouts/Taugeh.  A quick & easy recipe and above all it is also nutritious.  Bean Sprouts/Taugeh is considered as a superfood that is good for health. Raw Taugeh is full of nutritional value. It contains Vitamins A, C, E, K, and Folate in addition to an assortment of Minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium & Manganese.
     The best way to eat the freshly sprouted Taugeh is to eat them raw. Cooked Taugeh lose quite a bit of the nutritional values as well as all the enzymes. So the best way is to use it is as a garnish over hot dishes.  I usually stir-in the Taugeh at the final stage while adding it into Singapore Mee/ Mee Goreng Recipes. While preparing a Stir-fry with Bean Sprouts/Taugeh cook on high heat for a brief period.
      In this recipe too, I have scrambled the Eggs along with mild seasonings until cooked. Then finally I have added these Bean Sprouts & have cooked on a high flame for a minute. This way Taugeh/Bean Sprouts tend to retain its crunchiness, texture and nutritional value. These wonderful power-packed Bean sprouts, take centre stage in this quick, flavour-filled stir-fry. The addition of just a few ingredients over high heat brings out its sweet succulence making the dish a tasty indulgence.
