Ingredients
 
 

  • 250 g soybean
  • 2300 ml plain water
  • 3 pandan leaves
  • sugar to taste

Instructions
 

  • Rinse soybean, then soak for at least 5 hours or overnight (keep refrigerated if overnight). Drain off.
  • Add 1 part of soybean and 3 parts of water into a blender (the ratio of bean and water is 1:3).
  • Blend with HIGH speed for 1 minute, rest for 15 seconds (to avoid overheating), then continue blending for another minute until very fine.
  • Pour into cloth filter bag, then repeat the same process for the remaining soybean.
  • Tie the filter bag, then squeeze out the soy milk completely.
  • Strain soy milk again into large thick bottom cooking pot (I use 5-Liter stainless steel pot), add in pandan leaves.
  • Start with HIGH heat, stirring constantly. When foam has built up (after about 5 minutes), turn to MEDIUM heat and continue stirring. When foam has risen to the rim of pot, OFF the heat. When foam has gone down, heat up again over MEDIUM heat. Repeat the steps until soy milk starts to boil. When soy milk has boiled, reduce to MEDIUM-LOW heat and continue cooking for 5 minutes. (The whole process takes about 30-35 minutes. Time suggested is only for reference as the heat for different cooker is different.)
  • Sweeten to taste with sugar (optional). Keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.
