- Wash the tomato, remove the stem, peel it, quarter it lengthways, remove the green stem and the grains. Core the quarters and cut in half crosswise. Wash the red peppers and remove the stem. Depending on how sharp you want, remove or leave the grains. Cut the pod diagonally into pieces approx. 6 mm wide. Rinse the mung seedlings and shake dry in a sieve.
