Unsweet Dry Bean Soymilk in the Joyoung DJ13U-P10 Soymilk Maker

[theinfamousj]

This is a very specific recipe for a very specific machine which I happen to have access to. The instructions which come with it do contain an English potion which has recipes for whole soy beans but say "wet and dry beans".

Wet beans means that you've thought about it ahead of time and soaked your soy beans. Those of you who have been a reader of my blog for a while know that I'm not that person. And I don't want to pull out my Instant Pot in order to quick-soak the soy beans, either.

So I figured out a recipe to make soy milk in this maker from 100% dry beans!

Let's get to it!


Ingredients

• 3 oz dry weight dry soy beans, dry
• 1.2 L water from the tap
• the soy milk machine plugged in

The soy milk maker comes with a cute little cup that you are supposed to use to measure out your soy beans. It is so cute, and so little, that is guaranteed to get lost quickly. Which is why, for our sake, I took the liberty of weighing out, in ounces, what a complete little measuring cup of dry soybeans will weigh. While the ones in the picture are 3.1 ounces, the average weight of the contents of the cup was a perfect 3 ounces. (also pictured, using twist ties and a very long produce bag to portion my bulk soybeans out into milk portions to make future milk production quicker and easier)

Procedure

1. Add your dry soybeans (3 oz) and water (1.2 L/1200 mL) to the pitcher of the soy milk maker.
2. Place the top on to the soy milk maker and plug it in.
3. Press the SELECT button until the program for "Chinese Soy" is chosen. Then remove your hands from the machine. The machine will automatically start after a pause.
4. The machine will chime when it has finished making the soy milk.

I like my soy milk with okara (soy solids) still in it for extra fiber. I know that there are many who do not. It is your choice at this point whether to strain the finished soy milk through a nut bag (or cheese cloth, but a nut bag is truly the better choice here).

I transfer my finished soy milk to mason jars for storage. Then I wash the machine and set it aside to dry.

I hope this is useful to you since this recipe is not listed in the operating instructions.
