1) To make sauces: Mix ingredients for each sauce in separate small bowls; set aside.

2) In a large pan, bring the water and salt to a rapid boil. Add the bean sprouts and parboil for 2 minutes. They should be pliable but not mushy.

Rinse in cold water and drain.

3) In a large bowl, mix together the batter ingredients. The batter should be like pancake batter. Thin with water, if necessary.

4) Add the sprouts and onions. Gently mix until all the ingredients are blended.

5) In a medium skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium-high heat.

Ladle about ¼ cup of the bean sprout batter into the skillet. With the back of a spoon or a spatula, spread the batter into a 3-inch circle. cook until the pancake edges start to brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the pancake over and cook the other side until the bottom is golden brown, about 2 minutes.

5) Repeat until you've used all of the pancake batter. Add more oil to the skillet as needed for frying.

6) Place the bowls of dipping sauces and the pancakes on a large platter and serve, family style.
