Place the dried whole mung beans in a large bowl or container and add enough water to soak the mung beans. Cover this and let it soak for overnight or for about 8 to 12 hours.

Once the soking is done, discard the water used for soaking and rinse the mung beans well.

Now transfer the soaked mung beans to a large size colander or mesh strainer(the mung beans will increase in size as they sprout so make sure the colander or strainer is large enough to hold them).

Place the colander or strainer on top of a different container that can catch any water drippings from the colander/strainer.

Now take a wet kitchen towel (paper towel or fine cloth or cheese cloth will work) and place this over the strainer to cover the mung beans. Make sure the wet kitchen towel is touching the mung beans as this will help retain the moisture content in the mung beans. Now we have perfectly set the environment for sprouting the mung beans! Let this mung beans sprout for another 2 to 3 days until it reach enough growth based on your preference! The only thing and the most important thing that you need to do while they sprout is this - make sure to sprinkle water on them every few hours! I usually just gently run cold tap water (by holding the strainer in the kitchen sink) over the kitchen towel so the water goes through the strainer. Let any water drippings fall into the kitchen sink and then keep the strainer back on top of the container so any remaining water drippings will be caught by the container!

Continue this process for another 3 days for the best mung bean sprouts! I like to wash the sprouts very well and cook them just like I cook the mung beans for soups, stir fries, dal etc as I like the taste more while they are cooked.
