When I was a little girl, my parents worked super long hours day in day out, like most fellow Hong Kongers…

I’d never see them as they leave for work before I wake up, and come home well after my bedtime. There was a year where they simply couldn’t take care of me, so I stayed with my lovely grandparents.

That was the time I enjoyed many delicious traditional Chiuchow classics like kueh 粿 (rice cakes) or Chiu Chow Grey Mullet (fish) 潮州凍烏頭. Yum

And I’ve always loved helping granny make Fresh Soya Milk with her Stone Mill 石磨!

Love the amazingly fresh soy aroma that consumes the house…

Fresh . Fragrant . Silky Smooth . Homemade Soya Milk

I miss my lovely Por Por (grandma).


Instant Pot Soy Milk Experiments

We conducted multiple fresh soya milk experiments over the course of 2 months and have collected the following data and findings.

Conclusion: Test #4 was the optimal result for achieving a strong & amazingly fresh soybean flavor, silky smooth mouthfeel, and strong & aromatic soybean fragrance + delicious aftertaste.

Other Findings From Soy Milk Experiments:

1. Regular Blender vs. Vitamix Blender:

We experimented using regular blenders and Vitamix blenders, both types of blenders worked beautifully for this Soy Milk Recipe.

2. With vs. Without Steamer Basket:

We experimented making Soy Milk directly in the Instant Pot using multiple Instant Pot models (newer and older versions/batches).

Newer batch of Instant Pot is more sensitive with the “Burn” Message, while older batch would result having a light layer of soy stick to the bottom (but it was fairly easy to clean). The final soy milk product was still wonderful.

So, we’re opting to use a Steamer Basket for making Soy Milk in the Instant Pot in order to make it fool-proof across all batches of Instant Pot Pressure Cookers.

3. Types of Steamer Baskets:

After experimented using various types of Steamer Baskets in making Instant Pot Soy Milk, we found it’s important to use one that has smaller holes. This way, the okara will not seep through to the bottom of the inner pot.

For reference, this is the Steamer Basket we liked best for this recipe.
