Soymilk practice:

1, wash the soybeans and soak them in water. You can soak them all night in winter, and it would be better if you could sprout some buds. When the temperature is high in summer, be careful not to soak for too long, about 5-8 hours. Don't make it immediately after soaking, you can put it in the refrigerator.

2. Wash the soaked soybeans again and add water to the rice cooker. The ratio is that a cup of soybeans and a glass of water or water can cover soybeans.

Add a glass of water to the outer pot of the rice cooker, just like cooking with the rice cooker. Wait about 25 minutes until the switch automatically jumps. After the soybeans are cooked, turn on the rice cooker and let the soybeans cool.

4. Put a proper amount of cooked soybeans into a blender, add raw water (depending on the amount of water), whip and filter with filter cloth before cooking. Now there is a kind of nylon filter cloth, which is more durable and convenient to use than the traditional filter cloth and can be bought in a bigger market. )

5, bean dregs can also add 3-5 cups of water to knead the soy milk juice and cook it with the previous pulping, so that it can be fully utilized and not wasted.

6. Filter out the floating foam with a sieve (it will be difficult to treat the foam if the soybeans are cooked first), then turn on the low heat and continue to stir (avoid burning) for 5-8 minutes, then add sugar and turn off the heat.
