Ecomely’s estimate, calculated from the ingredients with the ANSES Ciqual food composition table, excluding sides and seasoning added to taste.

Instructions

  1. Rinse the soybeans and soak them in 1 litre of water overnight, about 8 hours.
  2. Drain the soybeans, then blend them with 500 ml of drinking water until you get a smooth purée.
  3. Strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine sieve, pressing to extract as much liquid as possible.
  4. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring gently to a boil, stirring so it doesn't catch on the bottom.
  5. Simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, skimming the surface regularly.
  6. Add salt or sugar to taste, then drizzle with sesame oil.
  7. Serve hot, possibly with a little black vinegar or chives.

Variations and tips

Sweet version. Replace the salt with 2 tablespoons of sugar and add a pinch of vanilla for a milder taste, close to Western soy milk.
