Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Soy milk is one of the most common Chinese style daily drinking. Many Chinese households love to make homemade fresh soy milk, which provides better flavor and richness than story bought soy milk.

Back to the old days when there was no kitchen machine at all, my grandmother used stone mill to make soy milk and further make tofu at home. I record a video and posted on Ins. That process, to be honestly, was really time-consuming . So soy milk was provided around twice per month as an auxiliary product form tofu.

To make rich and mellow soy milk, firstly we need soy beans of high quality and stronger blender. Among different types of soy beans, yellow soy bean and black soy bean are the main two types used to make soy milk since they contains more juicy. Making soy milk with a well-designed soy milk maker can help to save lots of time. For example, pre-soaking is not necessary and the maker will help to boil the soy beans when necessary. All you need is to put water and soy beans together.

    Wow, that seems really easy with the machine. I’m not a soy milk fan myself (but I love almost all Chinese tofu except stinky tofu) but a special lady in my house drinks it all the time 🙂 This seems like it would make a perfect birthday present. I noticed you put up the American product (Amazon). Can I buy something like this at Suning or will I have to buy it on taobao? And do they really cost 900RMB here? That seems like it would be a lot for China.

      Hi Zhou,
      You are such a caring husband. If you would love to buy one in China, I guess Suning is a great place. Quick delivery and cheap price. Not so expensive. I got mine around 400 rmb around 2 years ago and it is still in use now.

      Hi Mirjam,
      I never tried to fridge fresh soy milk. But I don’t recommended storing it over 24 hours. Soy milk lose flavor quickly without preservatives.

        Thank you for your quick reply. Your answer surprised me. It actually made me aware of my ‘western’ thinking. It has gotten so normal for me to just put everything in the fridge to make it last longer. It never occurred to me that it doesn’t always work like that, with for instance this homemade soy milk. So thanks!

    5 stars
    I tried both methods.
    The soyamilk machine version seems a bit more watery. So I tried blender method as well.
    However no matter how long I boil it. It still have grassy taste. Also alot of foam and it gets burn so easily.

    I saw other ways for blender method.
    Boil or steam the beans then blend and filter
    Or
    Blend and boil all mixture then filter.

    Have u tried these? And which you preferred?
    Have you heard about the soyamilk strainer -a stainless steel French press look alike

      Hi,
      The beans have a unique taste itself and no matter how long you boil the liquid, it cannot be removed. We usually get a strainer when purchasing a soy milk machine. The most important function of the strainer(or gauze) is to remove the bean pulp, which can greatly weaken the taste.

      Erin,
      The bean solids have lots of usages. Sometimes, we add some seasonings and starch or add some flour and form them into pancakes.
