    hi, I’m 1/2 korean (mom’s side) and I have an odd question. My mom used to buy this powder that she would turn into a drink. I remember it being white and having to drink it warm. She said it was made from pistachio’s, but i was really young, so I may be remembering wrong. I remember not really liking it, but knew it was suppossed to be good for you. Can you help me? Do you know what this is??

    Hi,

    I bought some raw soybean powder today at a supermarket…but I don’t really know what to do with it. I’m trying to eat a healthy and high protein diet so I thought I could just add this powder to my meals and soups. Would this work ok or would it be disgusting?

    Thanks

      I have also bought some lentils or barley (i’m not sure exactly what it is) but I think you’re supposed to add it to rice as it’s cooking…does this sound right? Sorry I’m very unknowledgeable about these things.

        yes, why not? If you want to use lentils to make multi-grain rice, soak them overnight.

      Using raw soybean powder is a great idea!
      raw soybean powder could be used in soup or some vegetable side dishes. Have you checked my pork bone soup recipe? : http://www.maangchi.com/recipe/gamjatang

      More soup recipes are coming!

    I bought kong garu at Megmart today, but it ended up being the unroasted kind. Yuck! It tastes awful. The package says “nal kong garu. ”

    How do I make sure it’s the roasted kind next time?

    Or should I try roasting the powder myself?

    Thanks :)

      Josh,
      oh, no! You must’ve felt frustrated! “nal” in Korean means “raw”. You will have to buy “bokkeun konggaru”(볶은 콩가루)”bokkeun” means roasted in korean. I would return it to the store and bring right one instead of roasting it at home. Why don’t you print out the photo of konggaru on my ingredient section and show them to find it for you?
