Is it okay to drink soy milk? How to drink soy milk correctly?

　　When making soy milk, you can add a small amount of black soybeans to make dark soy milk; add a few peanuts to make the soy milk taste smoother and slightly fragrant. I don’t like adulteration with starch-rich seeds such as mung beans and cereals. The presence of starch will make the soy milk taste a little sticky, and the taste of the soy milk will also be masked.

　　There are also techniques for soaking soybeans

　　Soybeans must be fully soaked to produce smooth soy milk and reduce the dregs yield. Generally, it needs to be soaked for more than 10 hours. When the temperature is high, it should be placed in the refrigerator or the water should be changed several times to avoid the growth of fungi. Sometimes, if you forget to soak the soybeans on time the night before, you can soak them in hot water to shorten the soaking time. If the soaked soybeans have not been made into soy milk, bean sprouts will appear after changing the water for a few days!

　　Correct use of soymilk machine

　　Nowadays, soymilk machines for home use are very good. They are fully automatic and computer-controlled. They are basically fool-proof and are not very noisy. Put the soaked beans in, press the button a few times, wait less than 20 minutes, filter it, and the soy milk is ready to drink. The soymilk machine heats the soymilk while it is being crushed, so the heating time is relatively long, which can fully destroy the naturally occurring toxic saponins, lectins, etc. in the soybeans. There is no need to worry about causing soymilk poisoning (caused by incomplete heating). Because soy milk must be boiled to drink, do not pour it into the soy milk egg Affects heating and nutrition.

　　Do not add sugar immediately after making the soy milk

　　Soybeans contain almost no starch or sucrose, so soy milk has no sweetness unless sugar is added. In the early days, I added one cube of sugar each time, which was not too much, but over time, a large jar of sugar cubes was gone, which made me a little worried. Later, I switched to honey. The quality of sophora nectar produced in Dalian is better. Honey is a natural sugar, mainly fructose. It has high sweetness and low dosage. It is relatively healthy . In order to reduce the damage to the active substances in honey, do not add sugar immediately after making the soy milk. It is best to add honey after letting it cool for a while before drinking.

　　Switch to soy milk and milk for breakfast

　　Some people are used to drinking soy milk and also like to drink milk. In order to communicate with each other, sometimes the beaten soy milk and hot milk are mixed for consumption. This mixing method is often opposed by some people who are keen on "food conflict", but in fact this method is not only harmless, but also improves the nutritional value due to protein complementation. However, we still drink them separately most of the time because we don’t like the mixing of flavors.

　　The remaining soy milk can be used to steam rice

　　Because usually only one person drinks soy milk, and one shot of soy milk is enough for two meals (breakfast for two days). Use remaining soy milk (instead of water) to make rice. It not only adds high-quality protein to rice, but also allows people who don't drink soy milk for breakfast to eat soy milk, and the taste is good (the viscosity is slightly increased).

　　There are many benefits of eating bean dregs

　　Soy milk can retain the water-soluble beneficial ingredients in the raw materials to the maximum extent, such as stachyose, raffinose, soy isoflavones, soy saponins, lecithin, etc. However, because soy milk has to filter out bean dregs, more dietary fiber is lost. If you want to increase your dietary fiber intake, you have to eat bean dregs. In the past, fried bean dregs were eaten, which had a rough and unpleasant taste. Later, inspired by "soy milk rice", rice can be made with bean dregs.

　　Also take frequent supplements of soy products

　　According to the recommendations of the Chinese Nutrition Society's "Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents 2007", you should eat 30 to 50 grams of soybeans (dry weight) every day. Drinking more than 300 ml of soy milk every morning is roughly only half of the recommended amount. Therefore, we often eat some tofu, tofu skin and other soy products to ensure calcium intake (especially considering the disadvantage of low milk intake).
