Everyday Dish, Homemade Soymilk

[777neotamakachi777]

I wasn't too sure what to do with the Okara, so I thought I might try treating it like Oats.

I cooked 2 parts Okara to 2 parts water with half a teaspoon of salt on a low heat for 1 hour.

Afterwards I gave it a taste and thought it would work well with sugar, so I added some sugar.

All I can say is I am never going to make Oats again, the Okara Porridge is delicious!

My boyfriend and I love it! I'll be experimenting with cinnamon, nutmeg and butter and post results.

[777neotamakachi777]

I made this today, I used 1 part soy to 1 part water (home made mineral water)

I used 1/5th cup sugar and a half a teaspoon of salt.

Came out amazing! Much better than store bought. Beats Alpro anyday.

Thank you for sharing!

[777neotamakachi777]

@777neotamakachi777 It was extra silky, I will try 1 part soy to 2 parts water next time for a higher yield and will post my results.

[MustLuvDogs22]

Can you add vanilla extract to make this vanilla soy milk? I have a pancake recipe asking for Vanilla soy milk but there's so many to choose from. Which is healthier for you?

[abbyipo]

Wonderful presentation. Anxious to try.

[eljagg01]

Does anyone know what kind of cloth he's using/ where to get one?

[777neotamakachi777]

@eljagg01 It's a regular cheese cloth, I bought mine from a cheese making supplier.

You could also use a very fine piece of material, like from a shirt if you don't have anything else. I used to use a cotton shirt before I got my cheese cloth and it worked for cheese, it should work for soy milk just as well.

Good luck!

[Miikoong904]

Yesterday was my first time trying soy milk. I like it.

[VSPhotfries]

Can anything be done with the leftover soy bits? Dry them to make a flour, perhaps?

[dclx5i]

@VSPhotfries Yes, the leftover mulm is called Okara. It can be used to make burger patties or cutlets. Search youtube for more videos.

[tylerhatley]

I've seen people boil the soy puree and then strain it, instead of straining the puree and then boiling...Is there a difference?

[dclx5i]

@tylerhatley if you boil before straining, then it will be too hot for you too strain using your hands. Straining before boiling will not cause this problem.

[furuzon12]

genius, thanks for this mate

[spqrCRAZEE]

@Galaxiebaker i do to it's awesome. bolthouse makes pretty good. never had homemade soy though

[nomansland21]

gramorous, gramorous, frossy, frossy

[joy1ess]

indonesian accent :)

[lehuastouch]

Thank you so much for sharing. I have decided to stop drinking cow's milk, and enjoy soy, almond, and other such milks. I prefer to make myself and didn't realize it was this easy! I love the freedom of being able to change flavor profiles, and this is a great example. Cheers to good health :)

[daberr2]

wow i bet that is the best glass of milk anyone will ever have in their life

[whothehellgivesadamn]

SOY MILK IS GREAT, LOSE THE SUGAR FOR GOD'S SAKES, IF YOU MUST, JUST THROW A FEW DATES IN THE MIX AFTER STRAINED THROUGH THE MILK BAG...AND THEN YOU COULD ADD THE VANILLA OR OTHER SWEETEER....CREATE THE BASE SOYMILK AND THEN LATER IF YOU WANT YOU COULD ADD CAROB OR CACAO OR WHATEVER....SOY MILK IS VERY NUTRITIOUS, BUT SOME DON'T LIKE IT...IT WORKS FOR ME...

[Helenelalala]

@whothehellgivesadamn yes thanks. Do you really have to cook the milk?? Does it not kill some of the great nutrients of it?

[saneedblozio]

Even better without sugar!!

[ZodiacDyn03]

Panda Leaf=Asian Vanilla. Got it.

[pakchan10]

@ZodiacDyn03

it's pandan leaf.

[mellamodaddy]

Hi, gotta a question, I made this recipe, but the milk have a grass flavor how I can that away ?

[JubilantMints]

I heard regular plain sugar is not vegan because it is bleached with animal bone. o.O

[LeonaBraveHeart]

@JubilantMints Hey! You can us raw cane sugar instead. The natural juice is pressed from sugar cane then filtered and crystallised. No further refining is necessary to produce this. Its brown in colour, more flavoursome than the refined stuff and is suitable for all purposes.

[TheBgcheez]

If you did not have electricity is there an alternative to the blender?  Trying to think ahead in case the solar flare or EMP takes out the power.

[earthsign99]

Too much trouble just to make soymilk. Almond or Hemp Milk are much easier to make much better for you!

[Helenelalala]

@earthsign99 it depends: I just got my hair tests done and soy comes up to be some of the most healthy things for me. It does not mention hemp though so I will ask for it next hair tests. Almonds milk comes up way lower in benefits for my body than soy milk... weird but true.

[jelenastamb1]

4:56 he said the word "stir" in the best way ever :)

[linmira]

so you don't cook the soybeans, just soak them overnight?

[baozeng]

filipinoooo accent

[linagwapa]

@baozeng : what are u trying to imply then?

[baozeng]

@linagwapa WHY YOU ASK

[greniocracy]

Yongkie, thanks for your guidance!

It definetly works! :-)

[royalblowno]

I like to have 2 kinds of soy milk, one with vanilla and sugar, and the other plain, reason being; plain for savory dishes, and the other for deserts-smoothies etc.

[punkkimiko]

ty^^. this is great!

[MrGpcy]

Does it make a difference if you strain the okara before or after boiling the milk. Also if you remove the husk from the bean? I have tried soya milk before but it was very strong grassy taste even when I added vanilla essence I couldn't seem to mask the taste. maybe the mixture was too thick.

[shizukashiawase]

i love soy milk! :)

[WetPooooopie]

wow soy milk is sooooo good you can make so many things outta soy beans, and eggs

[rebeccabrooks777]

"n_n" thankyou!

[lisakao124]

that is so cool i will try that out :D

[landwand]

Thank you for showing me this! I was using my Fruit Juicer per the instructions to make soy milk and I am glad that I have found a more efficient method.

[jaakizamazin]

When you strain the purreed beans and water, you are left with something that looks like tofu. (I know its not tofu though) Can you use this for anything? I'd hate to waste.

[mdzari]

@jaakizamazin it's called okara. And you can use it for cooking okara burgers or put them in impossible pies.:) I think u can google recipes for this.

[Objawienie18]

thank you for you cooking :)

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

there must be a way to do this without a blender, how did they do it in the old days before electricity

[moliflower]

@freakoutguitarsolo1 Millstone. I used to watch my grandma doing it. Now I can get 2 litters for only 50 cents .

[velvetvervet]

@freakoutguitarsolo1 hmmm...i bet yoou could soak the soy beans overnight, set them to boil (maybe 60 min?), let it cool, and then mash it (like potatoes) until smooth. it might not be as effective though (more waste) and more work (big muscles), but it would be worth trying if you don't want to invest in anything electric.

[mdzari]

Thanks for the video. Just a comment about boiling soy milk. You should bring it to boil 3 times to kill all bacteria in the milk before consuming.

[themachinegunn]

@mdzari who told you that? that sounds like a crazy myth.

[mdzari]

@themachinegunn It does sound like myth but try it and you'll actually see the difference in the milk. :) Anyway, for something more scientific and not so "old wive's tale" Check this book - Tofu & soymilk production: a craft and technical manual By William Shurtleff, Akiko Aoyagi. Go to page 211. You can do this on google books and scroll to the relevant page. Good luck!

[BlackSkullz09]

thanks i've always wanted to make my own.

[HenrietteCapulet]

Great video and Very helpful! Thank you! : )

[RonaldBarone]

or you can go to the supermarket and pay 2.79 and have half gallon :-)

[goanyways]

@RonaldBarone yea not as healthy though, lot more ingredients added to prevent it from going rancid etc.

[moliflower]

@RonaldBarone It only costs me 50 cents for about 2 litters.

[themachinegunn]

@moliflower i get litters of kittens for free...people usually give them away

[moliflower]

@themachinegunn it's a typo. I mean "liter"

[hipeilon]

do handwashing first my friend

[mandymaam]

I always spend lots of time to scrape and scratch the leftovers(scum?) inside the pot. Would you please recommend a good stockpot for me? I prefer it under US$150. Thank you!

[mgpatricia757]

Thanks Yongkie Hurd! Excellent video and fun to watch. I'll try this recipe soon.

[nenphuong]

Hi. What do you call those green leaves again that you cook with the milk?

[aphionorman]

its pandan leaves

[mafrek]

why is it that when i made soy milk it was yellowish beige instead of white?

[theseaoftrolls]

it means you succeeded. it should be yellowish. XD

[courtjays]

I'm going to try this later. It looks so nice and creamy.

[kingcolz]

is he indonesian ? i can hear the accent..

[eneth26]

Thank you. Its very nice, very clear video. Thanks for sharing:-)

[trickstyle48]

To all the girls out there (and boys if this is your kind of thing...), apparently if you drink soy milk every night, it can increase your breast size =D Please don't think im some kind of perv.... LOL

[arased11]

i love soy milk!

[exile341]

I love soy milk but just recently, I found out that non-fermented soy beens is unhealthy. Is Soy milk made with fermented soy or non-fermented beens? I would like to know.

[DeathAdder83]

tried my first bit of soy milk yesterday.............Not a fan.

[SHREDMOSHMSA]

does soy milk go bad like normal milk? cos i found half a carton thats been sitting in my fridge with no lid for about a month. it tasted much better than before. about an hour on i am feeling extremely sick. can u get food poisoning from soy milk?

[1029blue]

@SHREDMOSHMSA I'm sure you can get sick. On most containers it says that you should consume the soy milk within 7-10 days after opening.

[shawnllama]

haha i made it but i added some vanilla for some extra yummyness

[1010bree]

you can make hemp milk out of hempseed this way

[typeinbolivianbug]

spanish=racist

[ccsdsucks]

Soy is bad for Aryan males!

[purplecleo]

So is oxygen, I recommend abstaining from it immediately.

[autumnenergy]

@ccsdsucks

Anyone that considers themselves ARYAN should also abstain from water, oxygen, and any food product. Sleep with your face INTO your pillow at night. This is for optimum ARYAN health. I know this may seem uncomfortable, and you may think death is near, but I assure you it will make your ARYAN blood even more superior. If you fail to carry out these instructions, running in front of a moving train can also help. Heil Hissy...I mean..Heil Hitler !

[ceauvama]

stupid aryan first of all ,ore than 30g of soy protein is bad for your sperm, if you dont eat ,ore than 30g its a very good proteim and this is for the asians, the whi9te people, the mexicans, the australians and the muslims idiot some food is not better or worst for your skin

[mjzraz]

@ceauvama What are you saying about soy protein bad for your sperm? What is your source?

[msgiggles816]

This was fun watching.

very fascinating!

peace and vegan cookies<3

[fauxyrauxym]

i like it ..good job

[DaBozza]

whats that vanilla stuff he uses called i have trouble understanding his accent :)

[indobabe]

almond or pandan leaf

[irgy709]

pandan leaf. I've had it in little cookies, haha

[HoneiiDiiva]

cool I like it

[thefinnlord]

I'd really like to know what I can do with the excess soybean chunks. I bet I could whip the foam into, like, whipped cream.

[alyr]

you can use the okara (what i left in the cheesecloth) for soy sausage, among other things. it's delicious: just mix the okara with herbs, soy sauce, shape into a log, slice, pan fry and eat!

[thefinnlord]

Awesome! I can't wait to make some of this. Now, can you show me how to make rice milk?

[poofyhamster]

wow I never knew soy milk was made this way! COOL! ;D

[craftpals]

I tried this. It's good! Thank you!

[CookieDispenser]

I soaked my soybeans right now but can i re-soak them? Because i heard that you can't soak them for too long or they'll get an unpleasant nutty flavour :( So i can't leave it overnight it would be too long then. So my plan was to have it soaked (total 6-8 hours) and then re-soak them the next day. Is this possible?

[TxTee]

I watched this video because I tried to cook with commercially prepared soy(organic) and the recipe turned out wierd because of the sugar in the soymilk. I want to use soymilk in savory gravies - is the sugar and vanilla necessary?

[everydaydish]

No, the sugar and vanilla are definitely not necessary. They're just added for additional taste.

[geaophelia]

Hello and thank you.

I also appreciate your audience. They are so polite, which is amazing compared to the other youtube audience members who are so unbelieveably critical, and rude. This makes this video an all around pleasure. Thanks again. Gea

[mstgetnike]

I believe you have to soak the beans for at least 6-8 hours, 12 at most?

[knicknackssss]

i mean...whats the minimum time soaking the soy

[cyric3333]

minimally 12

[knicknackssss]

can i add sugar while it is boiling??

whats the minimum time soaking the soymilk??

great vid btw

[slickshoesken]

thanks for sharing

[promiseIsaih60]

Before soybeans are sent to your table, they undergo a rigorous process to strip them of their oil. Hexane or other solvents are first applied to help separate the oil from the beans, leaving trace amounts of these toxins in the commercial product. Hexane by definition is; "any of five colorless, volatile, liquid hydrocarbons C6H14 of the paraffin series," almost all soybean products contain trace amounts of carcinogenic solvents

[ytusergmail]

I like it

[InvalidAuthorization]

actually, asian soy milk, the type typically sold as a beverage is sweet. That's because no one wants to drink a tasteless milky beverage. It's just like why most juices in the US are concentrate with extra sugars. But real uses of asian soy milk also include soy milk soup - eaten for breakfast. You get the sweet soup or you can get it salty which has some chili oil and rice wine vinegar to kind of curdle it with some salt - served with chopped scallions and chinese cruellers.

[Iwant2bfair]

When the milk starts bubbling as the sign of boiling, cook for 8 to 10 minutes. Watch for the milk over floats when it starts boiling.

[MrSlowJamz]

asians prefer their soymilk sweet. if you buy soymilk from an asian supermarket you'll notice that it's sweet and pretty thin as to american markets where they sell soymilk that usually has a vanilla taste and is much thicker/richer. so it's pretty much up to you guys if you wanna add sugar or not but don't be afraid of the idea. it beats drinking soda.

[Stonewalljackson7]

nice until he ruined it with all the sugar. try stevia instead.

[metallica202000]

or even splenda

[Stonewalljackson7]

Nah, splenda does not have the benefits stevia has, such as blood sugar regulation, important to diabetics and even if you are not. Actually almond milk would be much better.

[metallica202000]

thanks for the tip i will be trying that im trying the vegitarian thing for now and am looking for ways to stick to it

[godfathur]

very nice and eazy thank you :) great demonstration!

[Solis1112]

what accent is that

[lucidglassj]

asian

[Solis1112]

really? asian? you think?..... -_-

i'm talking about what country

[amybalonie]

he said he's from Peru, so that explains the accent.

[Solis1112]

he didn't say he he's from peru though. he said that his friend is from peru. hes definitly not peruvian

[amybalonie]

oops. you're right. actually, it might be an Indonesian English accent, if I'm correct. I know someone who's from there, and he sounds exactly like her.

[amandalim78]

a pandan leave should be add into mixture when cooking is about done. Not to boil with it, the natural aroma of pandan will fade away fast and degraded if cook to long. Pandan is to be boil only maximum 5 min.

[powerpetslover]

Are the beans raw because I think there is also cooked dried soybeans... the green ones.

[m1ch443l]

that's wasabi,

[powerpetslover]

No, I know what wasabi is and I mean the cooked ones a.k.a. edamame.

I've only seen wasabi in paste, powder, and whole root form.

[amybalonie]

yes the beans are raw. the green ones are young soybeans.

[faylinameir]

I use my soyquick machine to make soy milk now but I used to do it like this. Also if you're making homemade tofu, do everything hes doing, except the vanilla and sugar. Great stuff!

[bobalinkle]

yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum yum

[strnbarrett]

how could the foam be poisonous?

[MrSaladDressingCom]

Thanks for the hints on making soymilk. It's so much healthier than cow milk, and has the great lean protein from soybeans.

[bugoosoogoo]

When he waved at the end of the video - that was cute. :D

Great recipe!

[zembelo1]

It was all good until he added the sugar. I will never understand why people like to ruin foods by putting one of the most unhealthy substances to man in it.

[LiberalOption]

I agree, but they always do it, some even add eggs, it's terrible. (no white sugar, salt, or any fat, how hard can it be)

[iwoof4u]

Obviously because people are not as obssessed freaks as you are.

[Skyinthebluesky]

¿Dijo Perú? ooooo chinito I love you, soy de Perú, y voy a aprender tu receta muchas gracias!!!!

[foodmatterstv]

See the trailer to a new film on natural health foodmatters[dot]tv

[deutsixfive]

Nice!

[ernietube1]

VEGANS please note-

ORGANIC soy beans recommended. You will need to check source as "organic" implies animal manure used as fertilizer in cultivation..

RAW VEGANS please note-

If you don't heat milk, most of the soy proteins remain "complex" and are indigestible.

Hope helps.

[Helenelalala]

@ernietube1 yes very helpful, exactly the data I was looking for thanks. So you mean you have tested by not heating the soy milk and you got some adverse reactions to it? Or do you have a data source that shows it?

[rbjcom]

Most Probably He is an Indonesian, We Filipinos speak softer..

[aisa62379]

i like plain and unsweetened soymilk

[nupps]

I think this guy is Indonesian.

[darkayahuasca]

i would think so too, maybe filipino. He rolls his R's pretty good

[cubuwu]

How much soy did you soak to start with? It looks like about 500grms but I dont know. Also, I've seen people boil the blended soya beans and strain after..what difference does it make?

p.s.If you have a vegan doggie the okara is great to add to their food!!

[ujgeeen]

Did you blend it 3 times and filter it or make 3 batches of it and them add them all together

[suskky]

Thank you for the video. Can you tell me how long and it be kept in frig or can it be frozen?

[susancool127]

watever you do,don't put it out of the frig or it will turn bad and look like tofu and also stinks.tried it before

[dogsarebetter]

yeah I agree what is wrong with adding a bit of pure cane sugar to soymilk? NOTHING

[sandbasket]

Fiesta Ware!

[FlamingHound]

because sugar is poisonous, right?

[funnyguise]

Leave out the sugar and you've got a nice healthy drink. That's why I want to learn how to make my own. You can't find soy milk without sugar... so if you like poison, go buy it, why make it like that?

[mangovanilla]

you can buy sugar-free soy milk at a lot of oriental/asian markets. i buy the sweetened ones but once I got the sugar-free type by mistake....just fyi!

[chocotofu3]

Um, if you buy your soymilk from Vons or some other commercial American chain, you'll only find the commercial sweetened stuff. But shop at any health-food market or Asian market, and you'll find plenty of unsweetened varieties.

Sugar is only poison if you don't have the self-control to moderate your intake.

[vorojtsov]

it looks delicious!It is natural!!It organic!!!mmmmm........

[bestiaccia]

Fantastic!

[wotdaf0ck]

maestro el peruano ksm!

[wotdaf0ck]

it all came from a peruvian?? jaaja

[lissiness]

Great video

[doctorhog]

my guess, from what i've been reading ...and essentially immersing myself in the process for the last few days.... is that you may not have deactivated the lipoxidase and other enzymes, which lead to poor taste and indigestibility....i haven't figured out yet if you should filter the ground beans before or after heating, yet i do know that you should have a low boil for about 20 minutes ( be sure to stir) and this should make the milk more palatable and easier to digest ...good luck

[anbncejksg]

it can be done either way. filtering before heating will make the soymilk making process simpler, no waiting for the soymilk to cool down & result in less foam, less to clean up after. filtering after heating will result in more foam & you need to wait for the liquid to cool before filtering, you might also have to reboil if you want to drink it hot but get more juice/nutrients/value out of the bean

[doctorhog]

thanks, that makes a lot of sense. In my frustration and impatience to master the process, i went and bought an automatic maker from an asian market...it works nicely but i still may use the regular method if i want to use the okara (the machine grinds it into a paste)

[Darkwingeddark]

I Made Some Homemade Soy Milk, & My Stomach Hurt For About 12 Hours Sofar.. I Really Wanna Learn How To My My Own Because It'd Be Cheaper Than Buying It.. But It Hurts My Stomach Really Bad Evertime I Make It.. But I Can Drink Soy Milk From The Store.. Does Anyone Know What Would Be The Cause Of This?

[anbncejksg]

raw soybeans naturally contain some indigestible enzymes which can be deactivated by boiling. when soymilk is boiling or near its boiling point, the liquid will look like it is about to overflow, so you will have to keep close watch. whenever i make 10-cups of soymilk in a 10-cup pot, it takes around 30 minutes on my gas stove.

[eviebrown48]

Greetings from Texas! Thanks for sharing.I enjoyed watching your video. I cant wait to try your recipe!

[doctorhog]

very helpful video...only i thought that the ground beans had to be cooked before straining them...not the other way around.

[anbncejksg]

it can be done either way, it is simpler to strain before cooking bc you don't need to wait until the soymilk cool down but straining them after cooking might bring out more flavor.

[jaimeEsparza]

i followed the steps..but for some reason..it tasted realy bad..=P

not good..

i like the milk from the store better..

(the one imade had like..the bean flavor..) any tips on how to fix it??

[anbncejksg]

a lot of soymilk making machines claim they give the benefits of eliminating off-flavor odors by its heating & grinding process which the traditional method does not offer.

[bocianowaty]

very helpful video, thanks man !

Do you know how long can I keep the milk in the fridge before it will get bad ?

[everydaydish]

According to Yongkie, it should stay fresh for about a week.

[ahantu]

After he removed the foam before boiling, did he also remove any remaining foam? Is there any remaning foam? i know the foam is poisonous.

[coolcollegecutie]

nice! thanks!

黑豆又名烏豆，在營養價值上略勝黃豆一籌，因為它除了含有極佳的­植物性蛋白質等黃豆既有的營養成分，還含有多種酵素，具有促進體­內新陳代謝、淨化血液、消除體內毒素的作用。由黑豆製成的黑豆漿­營養自然也不在話下。其實黑豆的解毒功效其實早就被中醫善加利用­，他們往往將黑豆和紅豆混炒後磨粉，作為天然的解毒劑。

[iam980]

豆中还含有豆固醇、不饱和脂肪酸和卵磷脂，这些物质可以帮助人们­降低血液中胆固醇的浓度，预防多种心脑血管疾病和其他慢性病。

浆的营养价值越来越被世界各国人民所接受，欧洲称它为"植物奶"­，而美国豆浆的零售额已经超过了3亿美元。

Asian Vanilla = X leaves

[dreamingasia]

panda leaves. it smell delicious

[dreamingasia]

it is pandan leave
