About this dish
Soaked white soybeans, boiled briefly and blended with toasted sesame and pine nuts, turn into a thick, cream-colored drink that tastes of the bean itself.

Most of the work is rubbing off the skins after soaking: skins left behind bring both a raw beany taste and a gritty texture. Salt and honey stay in the background. Serve it over ice, or pour it over plain cooked noodles as a chilled broth.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Rinse 300g of dried white soybeans and soak them in a large bowl of water for at least 8 hours until they expand and become fully hydrated.
- 2
Rub the soaked beans gently between your hands to remove the outer skins and rinse multiple times in cold water to eliminate any raw beany flavor profile.
- 3
Place the beans in a pot of boiling water and cook over medium heat for exactly 15 minutes, then drain immediately in a strainer to prevent overcooking.
- 4
Combine the boiled beans, 1200ml of fresh water, 1tbsp of toasted sesame seeds, and 15g of pine nuts in a blender and process until completely smooth and creamy.
- 5
Strain the blended milk through a fine sieve or cheesecloth to reach your preferred thickness, then season with 1tsp of salt and 1tbsp of honey until dissolved.
- 6
Adjust the final thickness with the remaining water, chill thoroughly, and serve in cups over 200g of ice cubes.
