I rarely see a Chinese dish that isn't a combination of vegetable and meat.

My sister and I spent many hours after school washing, weighing and bagging the sprouts for delivery to local stores. When he passed away, my brother Paul Curran took over, and then the Laberge brothers. My dad, the late George Curran, grew and sold bean sprouts in Lewiston-Auburn for many years. When using fresh bean sprouts, put them in last and barely cook them.

They have a canny off-taste and get real mushy when cooked. I only use canned bean sprouts as a last resort. We are lucky enough to have fresh bean sprouts available in our local supermarket.
