Fed up with pricey store-bought soy milk with additives? Craving delicious and nutritious soy milk? It’s time to take matters into your own hands. Right here in this post, I am unveiling a straightforward Chinese soy milk recipe that’s not just creamy and nutty, but also budget-friendly and accessible whenever you need it.
About this recipe:
Soy milk is a popular and healthy drink in China that many people love. It’s really versatile and can be sweet, savory, or just plain.
The old-fashioned ways of making soy milk were a bit complicated and took a lot of time. It might not work when you’re busy.
In the traditional method, we used to blend raw soybeans and then cook the soy milk. But in this recipe, I’ve changed the order. I first cook the soybeans and then blend them. This twist brings out a nuttier flavor in the milk, and the bonus is that you can freeze the extra cooked beans for future use.
Easy Recipe: How to Make Your Own Soy Milk:
You’ll need:
- 500g dried soybeans
- 3 L water
- 5 tbsp sugar or honey
Steps:
1, Soak the Beans: Wash the dried soybeans and put them in water for 8-10 hours or overnight. The beans will get big.
2, Cook the Beans: Put the beans into a big saucepan with lots of water. Heat it until it starts boiling, then let it simmer for about an hour or until the beans become soft. Keep an eye on it while it cooks, as it can easily bubble over.
3, Blending: Mix the soybeans, water, and sugar in a blender until they’re completely smooth. You’ll want about 1 cup of cooked beans for every 3 cups of water. Save the extra beans by freezing them in small portions for later.
4, Straining: Use a strainer or cloth to separate the milk from any residue.
Recipe Notes:
- A good blender can easily turn soybeans into a very smooth mixture. If you’re using a high-speed blender, you could consider skipping the straining step.
- For those who enjoy savory soy milk, think about adding soy sauce and sesame oil after making the soy milk.
- Feel free to customize the water amount according to your preference, whether you prefer a thicker or thinner soy milk consistency.
