Bean sprouts chicken (Simplified Chinese: 芽菜鸡, Hanyu Pinyin: Yácàijī; Jyutping: Ngaa2 coi3 gai1; Malay: Ayam tauge; Jawi: ايم تاوڬي) is a dish similar to the Hainanese chicken rice, the only difference being the dish comes with a plate of beansprouts. The steamed chicken is served with light soy sauce flavoured with oil.
People usually eat rice as an accompaniment; however sometimes people can also choose to accompany the chicken and bean sprout with a bowl of hor fun (Simplified Chinese: 河粉, Jyutping: ho2 fan2) clear chicken soup.
