Notes

  • If you can not get a ready to use soy beans, you can soak 1 cup (about 200g) of dry soybean with 3 cups of water over night. When the soybean absorbed water and twice in size, place the soy bean with soaking water in a pot and bring it boil. Once it boiled, turn the heat down and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours( you may need to add some water). Skim the foam from the top of the soup as necessary.
