Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I have a soy milk maker and used to make my own, but was somewhat scared by the negative soy reports, and so tempered my consumption a little. I believe fermented soy, like tempeh, is probably best. And, if you're going to drink soy milk, making your own from organic, non-GMO beans is the way to go. I used to really like using the okara (the ground beans left over) mixed with some nutritional yeast to make quick patties to fry up for sandwiches. I never did attempt tofu as the plastic press that came with it seemed kind of cheesey. Tempeh is made from the beans and you need a special starter. Here is one source: http://www.tempeh.info/starter/tempeh-starter.php Hope this helps, -Erin p.s. - I am slowly starting to eat more and more soy again. At first it was just tempeh, now tofu is " allowed " too. And, the very occasional frozen treat, like Soy Delicious. But, I do stay away from the faux soy meats. , Lesa <rhavensunflower@d...> wrote: > > I got a soy milk maker for my birthday. Im so excited. I got the press and enough stuff to make 240 pounds of tofu with it. I have already figured it up and with the money I save by not having to buy store bought milk and tofu my milk machine will pay for itsself in 2 months! My kids love chocolate soy milk!!! The greatest thing is that I have a 50 pound bag of soybeans that was given to me not so long ago. I never done anything with them because I simply had no idea what to do with them. > > I have found some great recipes. Soymilk,tofu,soy yogurt and many uses for the bean pulp left over after I make the milk. I would love to hear from others who make their own milk. I have recipes but would love ones that come from someone I can actually talk with. > > Something else I am curious about. do I need to buy tvp and tempah (sorry if thats spelled wrong..its 2:30 a.m.) or can you make that too?? > > > Lesa Harmon > www.harmonhomeschool.com (still under construction) > aim~keithurbangoddes > icq~ 313-546-482 > ~Harmonsclan > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
