Thank you for the tutorial and now my milk won’t be bitter anymore.
Hi Maangchi, Could you tell me where you got the stainless steel bowl that you use? It seems suitable to scrub the skins off the beans. I haven’t been able to find one. Thanks so much!
Hi Maangchi,
for the duyu and kongguksu recipe, you have different cooking times for the beans.
one says 15 minutes whereas the other is 20 minutes.
Which should we follow?
Follow the recipes! The recipes are different. Soy milk uses skinned beans and soy milk noodle soup (kongguksu) uses cooked soybeans including the skins before grinding, so the cooking time is different. https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/kongguksu Happy cooking!
Annyeonghaseyo Maangchi!
How did you get your soymilk so creamy and smooth without straining it? Every time I make soy milk, I have to strain with a cheesecloth because it leaves okara :(
Kamsahamnida! <3
I want to try this recipe but I’m allergic to cashews. Is anything I can use besides cashews? I’m a huge fan of your recipes
You can use other nuts, such as walnuts, pine nuts, or even roasted peanuts.
Hi Maangchi! :-)
What should be the consistency of the soybeans when they are cooked correctly? Should they be very soft or will they still be somewhat firm? After I cooked mine for 15 minutes they were still firm when I tasted them? I just want to make sure that I cooked them correctly. Thank you :-)
15 minutes cooking over medium high heat will be enough. Blend it until creamy. If you cook the beans too long, they may smell like meju (fermented soybean blocks).
Can we add chia seeds to this drink?
Hi Maangchi,
Loved the recipe and the cooking pot you used to boil the soybeans!! Can you tell me what brand it is? I would love to get one for our home.
Keep up the wonderful work. Thank you.
Hi Maangchi,
Is it safe, to cook soy beans only 15 minutes ?
Some says it needs to be cooked more than 30 minutes, some says 2 or 3 hours to remove anti-trypsin.
I’m a little bit confused.
hi,
it is safe to cook soybeans for just 15 minutes if u already removed most of its skin. The phytic acid or anti nutrient lies in the skin. By soaking it preferably overnight and removing the skin, you already removed most of the phytic acid to allow for nutrient absorption.
I hope that helps.

Hello Manngchi! i love your recipe!
I wanna make more than 1 cup at a time as you said your friend makes amount for a week at a time. if i make that much do i have to boil than 15 minutes? Do you have any tips for me when i make a large amount?
Hi Maangchi,
Great recipe and quick breakfast idea! Isn’t this similar to kongguksu? We drink this with our breakfast or afternoon snack-drink in Singapore too, but we like ours sweet (hot or cold). But living away from Singapore, i realised how i used to take buying fresh-ground soy bean milk from the shops for granted. Now I know how to make my own at home – easy! Thank You. <3
Yes, cook some thin noodles and put it in a bowl and pour homemade soy milk into the bowl. You can add some ice cubes and shredded cucumber and sliced tomato. That’s soy milk noodle soup (kong-guksu).https://www.maangchi.com/recipe/kongguksu
