M’sian Tried Growing Taugeh at Home With a Bottle & Gets a Handful After 5 Days

In Malaysia, the Movement Control Order (MCO) is still going strong.

Our fellow brothers and sisters in Malaysia have been staying within their own homes since 18 Mar 2020, with the exception of the “head of households” who are allowed to leave to get essential groceries for their families.

Originally planned to end on 31 Mar 2020, it was extended until 14 Apr 2020 because the situation isn’t improving.

So what have they been doing in their own homes besides making babies?

For this particular netizen, he’s been growing his own food.

M’sian Tried Growing Taugeh at Home With a Bottle & Gets a Handful After 5 Days

On 2 Apr 2020, Mee Ho Chew took to his Facebook page to post about his experiment growing taugeh.

He gave a daily snapshot of his journey starting from the first day.

And showed the progress of his beansprouts growing.

And after 5 days, this is the result he shows.

From that handful of beans

He can get 600g worth of taugeh to cook and eat.

And to prove that it’s perfectly edible, he even cooked it and showed off his dishes online.

I don’t know about you but I’m drooling. It looks crispy AF, don’t you think?

He’s Now Like A Beansprout Guru

He didn’t really provide a step-by-step guide on how to grow the beansprouts but the pictures should be self-explanatory.

And it’s not just him doing this; plenty of others have come across his post and shared their own progress;

For those who don’t know Chinese, here’s a translation in order of comments above:

Do I still need to put water after pouring it out?

Why is it that mine has a lot of roots, where is the problem?

What did you use to cultivate the beansprouts?

I’m using a glass jar.

Take a picture for me.

I’m going to use a box to see how it grows, today’s the first day.

You can eat it now.

Yup, definitely the guru now.

Something We Can All Try At Home

According to his pictures, it seems like you don’t need much in terms of equipment (or a green thumb) when it comes to growing beansprouts.

And it’s always good to have a steady supply of beansprouts available at home in case you can’t go to the supermarket.
