By the way, peanut sprouts are excellent.

I have been munching on these but would be interested in other ways to use them. I searched here and googled but didn't find any recipes.

I have only used them in salads and stir fries.

Odd. I find 55 results with a few keystrokes.

I often use them in lotus root soups myself.

Gosh since the topic is sprouted and they have tails I think the poster is looking for sprouted pnut ideas?

Ah, but she didn't say so. she merely said she didn't find any recipes. Just-barely sprouting peanuts like those she shows should be usable in the recipes in the search results. She was munching on them. That suggests she wants a way to cook them - with recipes in hand.

 

Even the previous poster says she has used "them" in salads and stir-fries, without SPECIFYING that what she used were SPROUTING peanuts.

In my post asking for ideas I quoted an earlier post referring to peanut sprouts, see below.

I searched "sprouted peanuts" and "peanut sprouts". 

 

Thank you FauxPas and heidih.

Ah, OK. Then what about this?

They should still be usable in the recipes with raw peanuts.

Thank you. I have seen most of these and they are for generally for salads, butters, and sweets. I didn't specify previously but was hoping to find a savory application other than a salad.

Use them as one would raw peanuts in various savory E/SE/S Asian recipes – I would imagine they would be a nice twist to them.

 

(ps lateral thinking is a good thing)

cyalexa, I have ordered sprouting seeds from Sprout People for years and they have at least one mix with sprouting peanuts in them. That's where I first discovered them. I did order some for sprouting on their own (peanuts) and I loved munching on them but I never really investigated ways of cooking with them other than throwing them in salads and a couple of stir fries. It's been awhile, but i think I used them in a couple of spicy stir fries, both chicken and beef. That's probably not much help, as it's not very original, but you might check the user comments on the sprouting sites to see if anyone does anything more interesting!
