Second last day of school, Cikgu asked us t bring some cotton and a plastic container to school. Said it's for a science project wor.
She gave us some green beans and added some water to the container. Told us bring home. Said it will grow into "taugeh"(Bean Sprouts) ...then can eat wor.
When Mamarazzi saw that...she said...not enough la..Just a few seeds. Won't have enough to cook leh. You know her la...everything also big scale one......She pour more green beans that Papa bought into a basket. Added some water.
Ne need cotton meh? She said no need wor. Just water will do.
The next day her "taugeh" had sprouted. She drained away the water. and kept a dark place. Said have to "wash/rinse" the taugeh 2 or 3 times a day and the taugeh is to be kept in dark place . This will make the taugeh Pui Pui (fat) just like the taugeh that we eat in Ipoh.
These are my taugeh after 3 days. All tall and slim like me.
These are mamarazzi's Taugeh after 4 days(yesterday). All short short and fat.
Mine vs Mamarazzi's . Can see the difference? Mine not kept in dark place. Mamarazzi's taugeh is just a day younger than mine
Again, Mamarazzi used short cut when making the Chicken dish. She cooked the chicken in a pot of hot watter. Added ginger slices, spring onions and an old cucumber. Forgotten to add salt. But okay la...can add salt later on.
When the chicken was cooked, she just took out the chicken and let it cool before chopping into pieces loh.
As for the pot of water...well....it become the soup of the day lor...Kill two birds with one stone.
My taugeh how ah? Too "old" to eat liao. Can plant it in the garden ah? Then became tall bean stalk...just like Jack and the Beanstalk. I want the goodies but I don;t want the "people" up there come chasing me wor.
Me is no thank you to chicken feet...
ReplyDeleteSoooo yummy wor
DeleteWas tempted, will go buy a packet of green bean the next round, i go buy grocery...
ReplyDeleteLol...for fun can la
Deletelooks yummy
ReplyDeleteTaste nice
DeleteI remember this experiment last time, it was really fun to see it growing...last time camera still not very common so we got to draw how is the growing process, guess now can capture a picture first then draw back later.
ReplyDeleteYea ...same here for Mamarazzi ☺
DeleteSo fast can harvest to eat!! This is the first time I learn how to make fat and short taugeh like Ipoh style. Your mamarazzi so pandai to grow everything ~ Salutes!
ReplyDeleteGot google ma..kihkihkih
Deletehehe it's like a compulsory curriculum in school to get the students to plant their iwn beansprouts hor?? last time Uncle SK's teacher also asked us to bring beans, cotton and container to school.. but Uncle SK remembers his tarak jadi at all, haha!!
ReplyDeleteLol...maybe the seeds already too old punya hence cannot sprout
Deleteoooh Mamarazzi is expert leh!! now we all know the tricks to get fat and short beansprouts like those in Ipoh.. the teachers say must use cotton and water and must let the beans get the sunlight leh.. so the real thing is totally different with Mamarazzi's way!! no need cotton and no sunlight, aiyoh!! Uncle SK must try this leh~~
ReplyDeleteTeacher want it to geow into a tree lo
Deletehehe got fresh crunchy juicy beansprouts of course cook "ngai choi gai" lah.. fuyoh look at Mamarazzi's cooking, so professional and so yummilicious leh.. can go and open one Meow Kee Beansprouts Chicken and start selling already~~ :p
ReplyDeleteHmmm...good idea wor...meow Kee Ngah Chiy Kai. Nice ring to it
DeleteWah mammarazzi did a good job with her taugeh! And so easy too, no need cotton. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYup..easy to grow
DeleteAnother no thank you to chicken feet, but I love chicken legs, chicken breast and chicken wings! The beansprouts are great. :)
ReplyDeleteLol thanks Linda ☺
DeleteSmall kucing learns a lot from growing taugeh - how to make it slim or short and fat. No waste, water used for boiling chicken becomes soup - good move!
ReplyDeleteYup ☺
DeleteEh, nice lah can grow your own taugeh! I want to try also :)
ReplyDeleteLol...make sure dark place to make it pui pui
DeleteLuckily your mama knows the correct way to do. If I am not mistaken, the taugeh that we plant for the science project is not edible one. It absorbs dunno what thing from the cotton, poisonous.
ReplyDeleteUiks ya ka...she said she didnt know about poison from cotton wor
DeleteWahhh...organic bean sprouts!! Not bad... no need to buy from market liow.. these are anytime healthier!!
ReplyDeleteFrom market also same la.lol
DeleteEhhhh, no need cotton? Lastime in school, we always experimented with cotton and water hor.. Now mamarazzi said no need cotton hor.. Wah, like that I also wana do.. Cleaner, less hassle.. Mamarazzi's taugeh more "hoi wai" leh, can cook also..
ReplyDeleteThe cotton maybe to make the taugeh stand up straight kot
DeleteMuahahahahaha!!!! But your mama not short and fat leh? Can DIY at home kah. Cheaper or not? Maybe I can try too - prices of everything going up and up. If can save a bit, sure I want!!!
ReplyDeleteA never out of date science project. This aunty also did the same project in my school days. You can grow your bean sprouts in the garden and watch how it will grow into a mung bean plant, it will be very interesting. Enjoy your long, long holidays.
ReplyDeletewah, mamarazzi taugeh looks good and can compete with those in Ipoh! nga-choy kai is my fav too! yumzz!
ReplyDeleteWow thanks. Didn't know no need to use cotton and can produce short and fat taugeh easily.
ReplyDeleteYummy homecooked dishes. Love steamed chicken accompanied by taugeh cooked with salted fish. ^^
ReplyDeleteYour taugeh cannot be eaten now. Haha.
Waaaahhh so good lah, own homegrown taugeh. *thumbs up*
ReplyDeleteHome- grown taugeh is easy! Mine is skinny tho! Will grow in the dark. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteOmigosh...brilliant. Why haven't I tried this...whyyy...!
ReplyDeletewow, nice to grow our own taugeh. I want to do that too..
ReplyDeleteI remember having the same science experiment when I was in elementary.. it's so cool to see those beans turning to sprouts
ReplyDeleteJust water will do? I saw u plant them in a sieve-like container, did u?
ReplyDeleteOhhh! I am tempted to grow the sprouts. Nice and juicy I see.
ReplyDeleteSo organic! Next time must try this at home also.
ReplyDeleteTried before but turned out a bit bitter. Gave up dy.
