Soy milk is nutritious. Drinking more soy milk can prevent Alzheimer's disease, enhance disease resistance, and help prevent cancer. A bag of soy milk and a few steamed buns for breakfast is a very common practice. The nutrition and convenience of soy milk have made it a popular choice for people of all ages. Now, let's take a look at some new ways to enjoy soy milk.
1. Use soy milk to make flour-based foods
Wheat flour is rich in protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. It has the effects of nourishing the heart, benefiting the kidneys, strengthening the spleen, and thickening the intestines. Adding soy milk when making steamed buns, leavened flatbreads, or conical steamed buns makes them even more delicious. This is because when you use soy milk to knead dough for steamed buns, the amino acids, B vitamins, and lecithin in it can lead to better fermentation, a softer texture, a significant increase in protein content, richer minerals, and a more fragrant aroma. Similarly, dough made with soy milk can also be used to make other flour-based foods such as buns, bread, and scallion pancakes.

2. Use soy milk to steam egg custard
A single egg weighs about 50 grams and contains 7 grams of protein. The amino acid ratio of egg protein is very suitable for the human body's physiological needs, is easily absorbed by the body, and has a utilization rate of over 98%. It is highly nutritious and one of the most commonly consumed foods by humans. When using soy milk instead of water to steam egg custard, be sure to filter the soy milk beforehand. After adding soy milk, the protein content of the egg mixture increases, and the resulting custard is tender and smooth with a higher setting efficiency.
3. Use soy milk to make soups
Soy milk is actually suitable for making many types of creamy white soups. For example, you can add soy milk to fish soup, meat soup, hot pot broth, or noodle soup to make the broth whiter, more delicious, and with a richer, yet refreshing and non-greasy texture. Compared to adding artificially prepared emulsified seasonings like "white soup powder," adding soy milk is more nutritious and requires no food additives.

4. Soy Soft Pancakes
Pancakes are made from whole grains with the bran still on, so they are nutritious, fragrant, crispy, soft, and easy to store and carry, making them a very distinctive local food. Some believe that eating pancakes requires prolonged chewing, which can promote saliva, strengthen the stomach, increase appetite, stimulate facial nerve activity, and help maintain the health of visual, auditory, and olfactory nerves, slowing down the aging process, making them a health food. Adding soft soybean pulp to a flour batter, beating in an egg, spreading it on a flat pan, and garnishing with chopped scallions makes for very convenient soft pancakes. The fiber, oligosaccharides, isoflavones, and minerals in the soybean pulp are all utilized, and not to mention how delicious they are. Remember that the soybean pulp is quite loose, so the batter should not be too thin.
