When placing the beans to sprout, spread the soybeans out flat as much as possible to avoid excessive rotting.

Step 4: Water a little each morning and evening, then place them in a cool environment. Water continuously for about a week, and the sprouts will be ready.

Notes on growing sprouts:

1. Soaking water temperature: If growing sprouts in winter, it is best to soak them in warm water; if growing sprouts in summer, it is best to soak them in cold water.

2. Sprouting temperature: About 20 degrees is best. It is best not to be higher than 32 degrees and not lower than 10 degrees, so that the temperature is not too high or too low and the sprouts fail to grow.

3. Amount of water: Do not water too much each time, to avoid too much moisture causing root rot.
