these are organic soy bean
wait. so it is soya bean or soy bean? hmmm...
i soaked for a night on the kitchen counter. they would swell and some skin will burst! :)
this batch of beans had all their skins removed.
previously i did not remove the skin but i have decided to do so after a while so that they wont produce that much pulp. the skin won't be contributing anything to the soy milk, will it?
KJ does not like unstrained soy milk. so no choice, i have to strained it, using a cheap cloth strainer.
if the little one is not drinking, i could serve unstrained soy milk to the father, which is a hell lot simpler. and less washing :p
what i do is, soak the beans overnight, remove the skin, blend in the thermomix with water, strained, cook for 20 mins with pandan leaves (if i can remember) and some rock sugar or brown sugar. ready to be served.
somehow i find the taste of this home made soymilk to be a little raw. either they are not sweet enough to cover the taste or it could be due to the organic beans? means because it is organic? i have not tried on the normal soy beans.
well, drinking soy bean is so debatable these days that i don't think i would make them again. am i paranoid? not that much. but because i have lots of recipes on my sleeve that i dont think i can ever finish trying them.
google and read up more, especially if you are a soy lover. do not over do it.
some mothers share their stories which horrifies me.
the debate was:
-too much soy causes breast cancer : broadcast in a Breast cancer awareness talk
-could cause other cancers as well
-GMO soy vs non-GMO
i know, moderation is the key.
hence i will only permit drinking soy milk when they are outside (how frequent can it get?) and i'll make other nutritious drinks at home.
