Soy milk maker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A soy milk maker is a small kitchen appliance which automatically cooks soy milk, a non-dairy beverage made from soy beans. Soy milk makers work similarly to a combination between a home blender and an automatic coffee maker. Some soy milk makers can also be programmed to make almond milk, rice milk, and other vegetable-based steeped beverages.
Homemade soy milk can be made to the drinkers' tastes and nutritional requirements. The soy pulp that remains as a by-product of soy milk preparation is called okara (Japanese), dòuzhā (Chinese), or kongbiji (Korean), and is an ingredient in many recipes.
Ordinary methods for making soy milk at home are often very labor-intensive (requiring beans to be soaked, ground in a blender, strained, and then cooked).[1] Soy milk machines perform many of these steps automatically, simplifying home-based soy milk production.[2][3]
