A great bonus from making your own soy milk is the okara (aka: soy bean pulp) left after draining. It’s a resource most factories will either discard or feed to farm animals but, this protein packed ingredient can be added to baked goods, use to make vegetarian/vegan sausages (yup… that’s going to be for a future recipe) or dried up and reduced in powder to add to almost everything. It is versatile, delicious and using the okara is leaving you with no kitchen waste. Something to think about…
As you will see, the process for making soy milk is very simple. If you wanted to make soy cream, bring back the drained milk on the stove top and let it simmer down to half of it’s original quantity. As the water will evaporate, the mixture will thicken and become a nice and silky cream. A thickening agent can be used to make the process faster, I would recommend tapioca starch for it’s light taste.
