I recently cracked great soy and cashew yoghurt. Chinese soy milk maker (like a cross between an electric kettle and a coffee grinder). 50g soaked soy beans, 15g soaked cashews, top to the right level with water (total 800ml including beans and nuts) use soy milk program. 27 minutes. Let cool, put in small glass jars and in the yoghurt maker with culture (4tsp total previous yoghurt, or 5 probiotic capsules) for 8-9 hours. Thick, lovely. No straining, no "milking", no beany taste. Easy clean up. Soy milk maker €65, yoghurt maker €25.
Anytime you have burnt on stuff or a pot that has burnt looking stuff at the bottom. You put baking soda in the bottom and undiluted hydrogen peroxide enough to make a thick paste. Then you heat it on the stove and the heating action makes it spanking clean
I have been soaking my soya beans overnight or 24hr and then I massage them to remove as many of the bean skins as possible. I found this makes it taste less beany as does cooking the milk- soya milk after straining for 15 mins in the Instant pot.
I've made a soybean patty with diced veggies (carrots, onion, green onions & corn). Season with garlic powder and onion powder. Pan fry to toast edges. YUM!!!
I realise that making your own yoghurt is also to avoid additives, but if anyone really did want a thicker yoghurt they could add something like agar agar to thicken it up. I've just made my first batch using a cold start method and UHT soy milk. It needs to only contain beans and water, nothing else otherwise it won't come out well (If you don't use UHT then you will need to heat first). It still turned out cheaper than store bought, and was easy. Broccoli mum has a video using the same method.
Great video! I use Kathy Hester's okara ricotta video to use up the okara as well as adding the okara to my oatmeal to make it creamy. Thanks for all you do!
For squeezing out hot things or for going in my freezer and moving stuff around looking for other stuff. I put on a pair of Playtex rubber gloves. The Playtex are thicker and they have more insulation effect to them
I really enjoyed this!! My mom uses okara by stir frying it with some diced onions and carrots and seasoning it with a little soy sauce and a little sugar. You can probably use mirin too. We mix it with hot rice and eat.
Pumfu is tofu made from pumpkin seeds. It's delicious but expensive. Would love to see how to make it and what you & your family think of it. Thanks, Claudia from Hermosa Beach, California.
I wanted to mention that if your Instant Pot has a yogurt setting you can heat the soy milk to 180 with no boil over or scroching. Thanks for all the entertaining old reviews!!
I squeeze the soy milk out before I heat the milk, makes heating the milk faster, I bake the okara on a baking sheet with parchment, it gets toasty brown, I add it to recipes. Soaked soy beans need to be heated before you consume them.
I've made yogurt a number of times using store bought soy milk. I find it is less runny if you don't put the lid on the instant pot all the way. Leave it cracked a tiny bit which I think helps the moisture escape some and the yogurt is thicker in my opinion. The instant pot does allow you to do that on the yogurt setting since it doesn't come to pressure on that setting.
I love making homemade tofu! Fresh tofu tastes amazing 😋. Each time I make it I save the pulp but never end up using it. I would love to see ideas for the pulp
So happy to see this video ! I hate paying through the nose for something as simple as yogurt ! In another tutorial, they strain the milk BEFORE cooking it, therefore it is not burning hot. Then, they cook it 20 minutes and put it in the IP for 8-12 hours. I tried once but I had very few soybeans so my ratio soy proteins-to-water was a bit off and my yogurt was like a block !!! It is still pretty good though but I will use it as a starter for my 2nd generation. I bought the starter Cultures for health from Amazon. Before, I made chickpea yogurt, which does not even need a starter. Unfortunately, chickpea yogurt has a real beany taste. So looking forward to my next batch of yogurt. Speaking of tofu, I will definitely try it in the near future but I am not against trying red lentil tofu or another bean. So YES for recipes woth okaara and other types of tofu ! Thanks for all you do !
Great video! We use a Euro Cuisine Greek yogurt strainer for our yogurt and it makes it nice and thick! Also, for those without an instant pot, we simple pour our soy milk into 1/2 gallon jars and place it in our crockpot (unplugged). Then we wrap the jars in towels and let in sit at room temperature for 8 hours.
I would buy oven gloves not oven mits. The gloves are like regular gloves so your fingers are more useable. That way you can squeeze the nut bag tightly
Yes please. I can't have soy- what else can you make these out of????? Thank you from grandma Katie in Oregon... PS great job though. Could follow thru & make this
Very interesting seeing you making tofu, would be very interested if you did another video on tofu. Red lentil tofu would be an interesting variant, thanks, from Dee in kent, the uk.
Very interesting! Im wondering if after straining the soymilk for the yogurt, if you could cook it down on the stove and then let it cool down. Would that work to make the yogurt thicker? 🤔
I am allergic to soy and my friend got ovarian cancer from drinking soymilk. Can I substitute soy for these recipes? I live in Germany. Thank you very much. ❤
This was such a good show! I make my own soy yogurt in the IP. I'd like to make one of the jars with cashews. Could you please tell me what the ratio of milk to cashews would be it I only wanted to make one of the jars into cashew yogurt? (one cup milk with how much cashews?) Thanks.
Loved the video. Would love making my own soy yogurt. I will have to try soon. I am trying to like tofu. Is homemade tofu better tasting than store bought or is it about the same?
Thank you for the video. I so want to make soy milk so I can stop buying the cartons at the store. Can you use your MilkyPlant to make soy milk? Or do you think it is easier how you did it?

Mary's Test Kitchen!! Lots of okara recipes. And alternative to soy yogurt and tofu recipes.

I was going to suggest the same thing, heard of this, hoping it works :)
Awesome video. Emily, you did a great job explaining how to make these recipes. Way to go🤩
Thanks so much! 😊

Hi Claudia!
Okara - omgoodness, SAVE IT! I freeze mine and use it in cookie batter, etc. So many wonderful recipes.
Cookie batter!??!
@@pbwithjeremy I can email you a recipe. Please confirm email address.
I wanted to mention that if your Instant Pot has a yogurt setting you can heat the soy milk to 180 with no boil over or scroching. Thanks for all the entertaining old reviews!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Loved the way she showed us! Thank you both! Going to try the tofu for sure.
I squeeze the soy milk out before I heat the milk, makes heating the milk faster, I bake the okara on a baking sheet with parchment, it gets toasty brown, I add it to recipes. Soaked soy beans need to be heated before you consume them.
What do you add the baked okara to?

My IP yogurt doesn't have any water in it. I put lids on my jars.
Does yours not have a yogurt setting?
Yes... I have a yogurt setting and thats what I use. I just leave the lid cracked so some moisture can escape and no lid on the jar.
I love making homemade tofu! Fresh tofu tastes amazing 😋. Each time I make it I save the pulp but never end up using it. I would love to see ideas for the pulp
I would love more videos on how you save money at the grocery store (especially with inflation being so bad)!
Will add to the idea list!
I’ll skip this one since I’m allergic to soy. Or I might let it run in the background just so you’ve got another view! 😎

I like the look of that bag.
i saw one where they used pumpkin/squash seeds no shells to make tofu and it curdled without the coagulant
Interesting....
I love that you try and test these recipes for us. You are an inspiration. I love the cost analysis. I'm going to try these! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Fantastic video! I would love to see you experiment with other tofus!!
How to say, I look forward to the water running in every video🤣. Sorry not sorry.

Jeremy & Woolie another fantastic video and 😋 soy tofu and yoghurt. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤ Jeremy, 💕 Woolie and family.
Yes please, a video for people like myself with soya allergies.
Mary's test kitchen has lots and lots of alternatives. Chickpeas seem good.
Second this!
Excellent. Ive been wanting to make my own. I hate store prices. Thank you for the showing the whole process.
I would buy oven gloves not oven mits. The gloves are like regular gloves so your fingers are more useable. That way you can squeeze the nut bag tightly
Good call!
I would love to see recipes using okara.
May I suggest purchasing a set or two of silicone oven mitts. Mine come up over my wrists, so, I'm protected when I squeeze out the hot liquid🌷
We have some
I'm allergic to soy, so I'd appreciate learning some options using non soy yogurt. I currently use split fava beans.
Oh my gosh y’all are the cutest!
Kathy Hester has a bunch of okara recipes on her channel. You reviewed one of her cookbooks.
Thx!!!
Yes please. I can't have soy- what else can you make these out of????? Thank you from grandma Katie in Oregon... PS great job though. Could follow thru & make this
I can’t have soy either so alternatives would be so helpful as it’s component in so many recipes!
Will work on this sometime in the near future!
Great video, you made it look so uncomplicated. I will have to find some soybeans now and try to make tofu and yoghurt myself.
Thanks for giving me inspiration for yet another project! (I think) 😂
You got this!
Wooly is the bomb!
Very interesting seeing you making tofu, would be very interested if you did another video on tofu. Red lentil tofu would be an interesting variant, thanks, from Dee in kent, the uk.
Great suggestion!
I love red lentils, yum yum xx
Way to go Woolie🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Was that a Montcrest T-shirt? Like the school?? I went there as a kid!
It was! Woolie teaches there and the kids go there (staff discount - woot woot!)
Oh wow!!! Thays alot of savings
Very interesting! Im wondering if after straining the soymilk for the yogurt, if you could cook it down on the stove and then let it cool down. Would that work to make the yogurt thicker? 🤔
Not sure! Good questions....
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to make my own.
How did you learn how to make all the things you make?
Buy making a LOT of mistakes and continuing on!
Great info - enjoy your vacation!
Thank you!
that was very interesting! How does the soy yogurt taste in comparison to store bought? Do you pretty much always make your own? TY
We aim to make our own - it's tangier :)
Can't wait to try this. Could you possibly use oven mits while straining?
We did! BUt then reboiled it in case they were dirty
Another awesome video!❤
I'm interested in non-soy tofu and yogurt. Are the cashews necessary? What is the yogurt like without it?
Not necessary! We just like that blend
Great tutorial!
I am allergic to soy and my friend got ovarian cancer from drinking soymilk. Can I substitute soy for these recipes? I live in Germany. Thank you very much. ❤
Sorry to hear that - how do you know that the cancer was caused from drinking soy milk?
Looking forward to this!
Kathy Hester makes ricotta out of the okara.
This was such a good show! I make my own soy yogurt in the IP. I'd like to make one of the jars with cashews. Could you please tell me what the ratio of milk to cashews would be it I only wanted to make one of the jars into cashew yogurt? (one cup milk with how much cashews?) Thanks.
1/4 cup of cashews I believe
Thank you!
great video ty
Loved that!
Looks good to me. ❤
Can’t wait to try this. Can you do this with commercial soy milk?
Beth in Sarasota FL
I’ve made soy yogurt in the instant pot by using the eden soy milk which is just soy and water. Then you can skip the soaking and cooking.
Yes - if it's 8g of protein or more
Kathy Hester has recipes with okara
Good to know!
Would gloves help with the heat when you squeeze out the liquid?
Yes - if they're clean.
Wow! And does it tastes better than store bought?
Same!
I have heard of tofu made with lentils
It's good!
Loved the video. Would love making my own soy yogurt. I will have to try soon. I am trying to like tofu. Is homemade tofu better tasting than store bought or is it about the same?
I find tofu itself has such a mild flavor and we always do stuff to it, so the flavor itself I don't really notice to be honest.
Thank you for the video. I so want to make soy milk so I can stop buying the cartons at the store. Can you use your MilkyPlant to make soy milk? Or do you think it is easier how you did it?
Soy milk needs to be cooked. There are great soy milk makers from China that do both steps.
You have to cook the beans first.
Were those organic soybeans?
Yup!
How long does you soy milk, tofu and yogurt last in the refrigerator? Google says 3-4 days.
Sounds like Google has a bad fridge. It should last at least a week before getting funky in anyway - You can also freeze it!
@@pbwithjeremy THANK YOU
Have tried these but I am too lazy to do this on a regular basis.
For the milk I'm talking about not the tofu, sorry that .😅
Fools,children & me should have watched the video all the way through before committing 🫣
haha - all good!
