I love drinking soybean milk and think that I'm quite lucky that just diagonal across my house, there's a man with his cart selling soybean milk every weekdays from morning till noon. He serves the soybean milk hot but surely, there's ice cubes for those who like to drink cold soybean milk.
Although it's quite convenient to have a soybean milk vendor near my house, but sometimes I prefer to make soybean milk by my own so I can add pandan leaves in order to have a nice fragrance soybean milk.
Soybean milk recipe
Ingredients:
125 gram soybeans
1 liter water
2 or 3 pandan leaves (depend on how big is the leave)
sugar (to taste)
Direction:
1. Soak the soybeans in water for overnight
2. Drain, rinse and discard the water (I usually don't remove the skin of soybeans)
3. Place soybean and water in a blender and whirl until smooth (the liquid becomes a white frothy milk)
3. Place a strainer over a bowl and pour the liquid into the strainer.
4. Boil the liquid together with pandan leaves and sugar in low heat. Stir frequently.
5. Soybean milk is ready! It can be kept in refrigerator for another 2 days.
this is usch freak awesome, healthy and nutricious, must follow your recipe and make some at home! :)

I've never tried it and looking forward to making it, sounds very refreshing! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI think it's neat that you make your own soy bean milk. I should try this myself!
ReplyDeleteSounds like making soy bean milk is not so troublesome.
ReplyDeletedrinking soy milk gives you a nice and smooth complexion.
ReplyDeleteAfter a season of holiday eating, I need to start eating and drinking healthier stuff :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Selba.
I usually buy soybean milk because I'm too lazy to make my own! Unless my mum makes it for me...kekeke.
ReplyDeleteReally? it's that easy? wow, I've got to try this..
ReplyDeletei love soy bean milk too! mum used to make for us but she no longer do so as it takes a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteI'd say the wonderful wealth of "on the street" food vendors in your corner of the world is definitely a plus! I envy you that.
ReplyDeleteOne of the vending machines at my school sells soybean milk, which is probably nothing like homemade.
That's funny that the milk comes in bags!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine what this tastes like? I wonder if it's like the commercial stuff (like Silk brand) that we sell here.
what the mean "KEDELAI"?
ReplyDeletemy mum used to make this a lot. I miss the little stalls selling these, so convenient.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting and refreshing. I'll try to get the courage to make it. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool to have that like a diagonal walk across the street! For some reason it just seems so lucky to me... like a fresh new start like the new year :)
ReplyDeleteTo all who love to drink soybean milk *hi5* :)
ReplyDeletepeachskins: Yes, it's actually really simple to make this soybean milk as long as you know the "trick" so not messing a lot with the soybeans i.e: to get the skin remove, don't overheat while boiling in order to prevent the milk from spilling out from the pot and always stand by to stir frequently ;)
mica: It's like milk but tasted a bit "beany", hehehe. If you buy soybeans milk in the stores, they provided those with flavors like strawberry, banana, etc.
pisang goreng: KEDELAI means soybean(s), don't get confused with KELEDAI which means donkey! Hehehe...
Fascinating about the proximity of the cart! I liked reading how you made your own soybean milk. I'll drink Happy New Year to you :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun to learn more about other cultures. I had to google pandan leaves!
ReplyDeletei drink soya millk everyday!!
ReplyDeleteBut nvr tried making it myself..ur recipe looks simple enough... hhmmm
You make it sound easy to make soy bean milk at home! I'm going to try it out! Just a normal blender will do (the type for making smoothies)???
ReplyDeletenoobcook: It is quite easy to make soybean milk :) Yes, any normal blender for making smoothies will do.
ReplyDeleteI wish fresh soybean milk like this were available in the US. It is so much better than processed junk we get in the supermarkets here. This looks great!
ReplyDeletethe fun thing about soy bean milk is that it's really versatile...can be made into types of desserts....just the milk itself is delicious...i like!!!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to make this at home! It sounds wonderful with the pandan leaves!
ReplyDeleteOK this looks wonderful to have the fresh milk. And I like that you make your own but what is pandan leaves?
ReplyDeleteyou are getting me excited bout the trip. btw, our email is cumidanciki@gmail.com what is yours?
ReplyDeleteI only have soymilk, but it's just in the carton. I never thought about making it.
ReplyDeletexxx
FwLT: Pandan leave is Screwpine leave or in latin is known as Pandanus Amaryllifolius which is is fragrant and used in desserts. Maybe you can find at Asian stores in your neighborhood :)
ReplyDeletecumi & ciki: I'm also excited! :)You can contact me: selba22 at gmail dot com
