We once tried to do that, closely following things from the internet
(and of course if it's on the internet, it must be correct).  We used
various things to sprout.  The best we ever got was thin strings of
sprouts that were nothing like the bean sprouts in the markets.  We gave
up and figured that the price of them in the store was well worth the
time we did not have to spend trying to grow them at home.
