This preservative- and additive-free homemade soy milk works great for drinking, culturing, or making tofu. Use only white soy beans for making soy milk.

The leftover fiber is called okara, or u no hara, and can be dried or frozen for use in cooking, or as fertilizer. Soy yogurt made at home has a slightly grassy flavor compared to soy yogurt bought commercially.
