Veganuary - day 5: Soy Milk (Sữa Đậu Nành)

This is day 5 of Veganuary. This month, I will share my vegan (mostly) Vietnamese recipes and show you how vegan food is simply delicious food.

Walk into any banh mi shop and you’ll find fresh soy milk (both sweetened and unsweetened) lined up in the fridge. It was my first introduction to plant-based milk, way before I started this vegan journey, and to this day, I still crave it weekly. There’s nothing like a fresh cup of soy milk (I prefer it warm!).

Ingredients
1/2 cup soybeans
3 cups water
1 tbsp sugar
Optional: 2-3 pandan leaves

Instructions
1. Rinse the soybeans to filter out any dirt. Transfer to a container and fill with about 1 cup of water. Leave in the fridge overnight.
2. Drain the water from the container. Transfer the soybeans to a blender with 3 cups of water. Blend for about 1 minute.
3. Strain the soy milk, using a fine mesh strainer or nut milk bag, over a pot. Add sugar and pandan leaves (if desired). Cover partially and simmer for 20 minutes. Enjoy!

I will have to try this. I’ve made it before but all the tutorials involve like 30 minutes of peeling the shells off the beans after boiling them, and I just could not maintain that level of labor.

Do you have a tip on replacing the pandan leaves?

[kateliness]

I definitely want to try this sometime!

I think you should rinse them after swelling overnight

[Gaby-cqpr]

Is that a regular por on the stove or is that some different type of steamer. Because you don't stir it and all the other videos show it needs to be stirring it

[EveGene]

You don't have to re-rinse the soybeans before blending?

[etheledwin]

What happens if you don’t soak it overnight

[Alyssaneo]

The fact that it feels quite wild that americans say soy instead of soya because i was born saying soya loll
