Instructions:

Step 1:

Place the mung beans on a container and fill it with water. Soak them for a few hours and wait till they get soft.

Step 2:

Get your 3 cups and create holes at the bottom using the soldering iron. You can also use a screwdriver. Just heat the tip with a candle, and you can already use it to create the drains.

Step 3:

Once the mung beans soften, drain the water and place them inside the cups. Make sure to put a tray on the bottom of the cups.  Then soak the towels in water, then squeeze out some of the water. Place them on top of the beans.

Step 4:

Using the black plastic bag, cover the plastic cups and leave for a while. You’ll see the bean sprouts growing. Get the 3 remaining plastic cups and partially fill them with water. Place the plastic cups with mung beans on top and wait 3 seconds, then remove from the water. Soak it 3 times per day: morning, noon, and night. And return the plastic bag once done.

Step 5:

After 3 days, you’ll see the beans have grown.  Pour water on the cups and cover with a black or brown towel.

Step 6:

On day 4, it’s time to harvest them. Remove from paper cups and put in a container.
