Homemade Organic Soybean Milk Using Joyoung Soymilk Maker

With the help of modern kitchen gadgets, making your own soymilk at home has become a breeze especially if you have a soymilk maker. And if you have being following my recent posts and photos on soymilk making I am sure you have read about my new loot on the Joyoung soymilk maker (九阳豆浆机 ).

In this post, I would be sharing two recipes on Homemade Organic Soymilk using my new loot and it is so easy with just a touch on the button. After which you would get to enjoy a glass of healthy warm soymilk in less than 30 minutes.

HOMEMADE ORGANIC SOYMILK

As you know, there are many benefits from drink soymilk such as it contains high protein, low cholesterol and also helps to prevent high blood pressure. On another end, it also promote blood circulation, antioxidants, anti-aging, eliminating constipation and etc.

These are some brands of the Organic Soybeans that I am using. You can use any brand of soybean despite of whether they are organic or not. Soybeans can be easily found in any local supermarket or grocery stores under the dried beans sections.

(Serves: 4   | Preparation: 6 - 8 hrs soaking  | Cooking: 25 minutes)

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup (130g) of Organic Soybeans
• Water
• 50g Rock Sugar (or more or less to taste)
• Some Pandan Leave (optional), tie to knot

Method:-

1. Rinse soybeans for a few rounds, soak it in water for about 6 - 8 hours. (I usually soaked it overnight)

2. Add soaked soybean and water (fill water up to 1300ml mark shown in the jar) in Joyoung soymilk maker and select "Soak Bean" mode. But if you prefer a richer and thicker taste, select "Dry Bean" mode even if you are using soaked beans.

3. When the soy milk is ready, the machine will beep and you will see blinking light on the selected mode.

4. Switch off the power. Add in pandan leaves and rock sugar, give it a quick stir and leave the mixture to stand for about 5 minutes.

5. Lastly, give the mixture a few stir to completely dissolve the sugar. Filter out the soy milk and it is ready to serve.

Quick Tip:
~ The minimum amount for making soymilk is using 90g Soybeans with 900ml water in order for the soymilk maker to operate.

~ "Dry Bean" mode gives a much richer texture to the soymilk as compared to the "Soaked Bean" mode.

HOMEMADE ORGANIC BLACK SOYMILK

(using Joyoung Soymilk Maker)

To test out another flavour, I mix 1/2 cup each of soybean and black soybean instead of using 1 whole cup of black soybean which the taste might be slightly stronger and bitter for everyone. And also by adding black soybean is a good way to help reduce weight, whiten skin as well as strength the body.

(Serves: 4   | Preparation: 6 - 8 hrs soaking  | Cooking: 25 minutes)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup (65g) of Organic Soybeans
• 1/2 Cup (65g) of Organic Black Soybeans
• Water
• 50g Rock Sugar (or more or less to taste)
• Some Pandan Leave (optional), tie to knot

Method:-

1. Repeat the same procedures as shown for the making the normal soybean milk above.

If you want to try out black soybean milk, perhaps you can start off with 3/4 soybean and 1/4 black soybeans and slowly adjust the taste to your preference.

OKARA

(豆渣)

Soymilk would taste smooth and better when "Okara (豆渣)" is being filtered from it. But do you know instead of throwing them away, you could actually incorporate this rich dietary fiber into your daily cooking or baking. Below are some recipes on using Okara, hope you would find them useful.
