This is the bean sprouts cultivated by Lucyriver. They looked different from the 'taugeh' in the market because they are not going through the normal growth.
Lucyriver's method is put a layer of cotton at the base and spread the green or mung beans all over. A tip, don't spread too many, they may look sparse but when they absorb water, they could be giants. Make sure it is never out of water but don't drown them. Just three or four days they will look like above.
Actually, a layer of grass can substitute the cotton and the crucial thing is you need a weight on top of the bean to help them to grow properly. This is the tip that Lucyriver received recently but haven't tried it out.
The conclusion is, don't trouble yourself planting 'taugeh' , just go and buy if you want to eat unless you are also 'wu liao' like Lucyriver.
