    Add a little water to cover the beans. Maintain moisture during the sprouting process; remember one of the key tips: "Keep them moist."

    Step 6

    Cover the bean sprouts tightly with gauze, "put the lid on," and start sprinkling water. Cover the pot with the lid and weigh it down with a heavy object. This is to help the bean sprouts grow thicker. Then, sprinkle water every night in the dark. Note the third secret: "Avoid light." The steamer basket should be raised one inch high, making sure the beans are not soaked in water. If it's not raised, pour the water out after sprinkling.

    Step 7

    After three days of being kept covered in bean sprouts, I saw early this morning that the lid had been pushed up by the sprouts, leaving the pot wide open! I quickly scrambled to close the lid tightly, then added some weight to keep the sprouts tackier and stronger. On my way to work, thinking about this, I couldn't help but marvel at the power of growth! When I got home from get off work that evening, I opened the lid to check: the gauze had wrapped itself tightly!
