Soy Yogurt WITHOUT Starter

If you want to make some soy yogurt but don't have any starter, you can use this simple trick - use soy bean soak water!
Soy Yogurt Without Starter
1 litre homemade soy milk (or use store bought, as long as it’s just beans and water) warmed to 37-40 degrees Celcius
2-3 Tbsp soy bean soak water
You’ll need: glass jar, muslin cloth and rubber band. Mix the milk and the bean soak water in a glass jar, cover with the cloth and rubber band. Ferment the milk at 40 degrees Celcius for 12 hours or at room temperature 18-24 hours.
Soy Milk
1/2 cup dried organic soy beans
A pinch of salt
Make soy milk in Soyabella as per my recipe below or follow the steps below if you don’t have a soy milk maker:
Wash and soak soy beans for 12 hours. Keep 3 Tbsp of the soak water aside for yogurt making and drain the rest. Put soaked soy beans and 1 litre boiling water in a blender and blend for 2 minutes. Let the mixture cool down and then pour through a very fine sieve lined with a cheesecloth or squeeze the milk through the nut milk bag. Pour the liquid into a pot, add a pinch of salt and simmer on medium low for at least 15 minutes. Store your homemade soy milk in a jar in the fridge. Keep the pulp called okara in the fridge or freezer for other recipes. See my okara recipe playlist below.

This is great to know---I usually use some from my current batch but on occasion it has gone bad --Happy to have a backup plan! Glad you are enjoying your summer!

[@HealthOrigins]

Thanks for a lovely comment, and yes, I did enjoy my summer, got to visity my family in Lithuania and went camping a few times 🙂

[@esidankwa1832]

I made this yesterday, and it works guys. It tastes just as she described it, slightly tangy. It’s delicious ❤❤

[@HealthOrigins]

Fantastic, I am glad you loved it! 🙂

[@davidbgreensmith]

I tried this recipe with a few variations on the process. I soaked the beans overnight Blended them Squeezed them through my nut milk bag, giving the okara a rinse with more water. Rather than cooking on the hob, I steamed the milk pot in pot in my Instant Pot for 20 minutes. I then rinsed the IP sleeve, poured in the cooled milk, and added the soaking water starter. I put the IP on yoghurt mode with the lid on and left it overnight. What I got was something that looked more like the curds you get when making tofu. When you look at it you first think someone has sprinkled pine needles on it, then you realise it's cracks in the curd. When I took a spoonful, it tasted odd, but not horrible. Given that this is my first time, I'm not sure what it should taste like. There was a slight tang, but not like shop bought. Disturbing it caused the curds to separate completely. It's currently in my tofu press on the draining board. I'll see if I can make tangy tofu. Should I have tried to mix it up again I to a smooth paste?

[@HealthOrigins]

I wonder if steaming the milk for 20 minutes did not cook it enough and whether you adding more water made the milk too watery? If there's not enough tang after 8 hours or overnight, you will could always leave it for longer, it should get tangier. And no, it should not look like tofu curds, but more like a whole set smooth curd that you can scoop with a spoon.

[@davidbgreensmith]

@@HealthOrigins thanks. I'll try cooking for longer next time.

[@cherylnaujock3440]

A!mazing. I will definately try this. Thank you so much

[@HealthOrigins]

You are very welcome! 🙂

[@Scrapitydoodah]

Will definitely be trying this. Thanks xx

[@HealthOrigins]

You are very welcome 🙂

[@rwheeler4156]

I had no idea you could use the bean water. Mind blown! I'll probably never make soy milk from scratch but it's nice to know this is an option!

[@HealthOrigins]

I am glad my video showed you new possibilities 😁

[@ellaova]

Can I make it with store bought soymilk and the water from a can of soybeans

[@ellaova]

@HealthOrigins?☝️

[@HealthOrigins]

No, it would not work with the water from a can of soybeans as it will not have the live yeast in it. You need the water from soaking the soy beans for this.

[@bsamant80]

excellent idea ! I will defintely give it a try, as i dont have any soy yogurt starter....its hard to find soy yogurt where i live. So this is really an ideal recipe for me to try. Will let you know the results!

[@HealthOrigins]

Great, hopefully you will like it! 🙂

Thx for all the details n sharing the great tips - new sub from Texas

[@HealthOrigins]

You're very welcome! And thank you for subscribing! 🙂👍

[@tkarlmann]

Well done Recipe! I've made Rejuvelac before, but I've never used soybean soaking water; I used wheat & rye berries, soaked, sprouted, then soaked & strained to make Rejuvelac. Your way is far easier; but I do think the "cure" time needs to be longer for your method.

[@HealthOrigins]

Thank you, you could definitely soak a little longer, but perhaps in the fridge, as after 12 hours + of soaking in room temperature, soy beans can start fermenting a bit.

[@SooperToober]

Absolutely Brilliant

[@HealthOrigins]

Thanks!

[@robertoreiley]

Thanks for sharing.. need to try it, looks great 👍

[@HealthOrigins]

You're very welcome!

I am glad it did! 🙂

[@iuliamarin2997]

So glad I found your channel! I've been wanting to make soy yoghurt for such a long time! You recipe is a must try, but please, tell me, if I don't have a thermometer, can I also dare to try this recipe?

[@HealthOrigins]

Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes, certainly, you can make it without thermometer, just test the milk with your finger - it needs to feel just warm, almost the same temperature as the skin, not hot.

[@iuliamarin2997]

@@HealthOrigins Thank you! Keep up the good work! 💕🙌

You're very welcome 🙂

I could finally make soy yogurt, hip ip!

[@HealthOrigins]

Fantastic! 🙂👍

[@adelesaaddesouza6780]

Excellent video! I watched your 'How to do Soy Milk in the Thermomix' video. Have you tried to make soy yogurt with it?

[@HealthOrigins]

Thank you. No, I haven't tried making soy yogurt with it, not sure how I would make it with that?

[@antonia8153]

This looks great! How many grams of soybeans do you use?

[@HealthOrigins]

Thanks! I do not measure soy beans in grams, I used half a cup of soy beans to make make 1 liter of milk.

[@Socreative1234]

WOW 👌. Where did u bought soy milk maker and how much it cost?

[@HealthOrigins]

The soy milk maker is called Soyabella, I think I bought it from Amazon and it was just over £100 if I remember correctly. It has stopped working now, need to see how I can get motor repaired!

[@Socreative1234]

@@HealthOrigins Tq. For reply

[@juliafletcher6399]

Whats the name of the milk machine you used... Can it be got on Amazon??

[@HealthOrigins]

It's called Soyabella 🙂

[@technopagan63]

Do you think this would work with cashew milk

[@HealthOrigins]

I actually don't know, but you could try making this with cashew soak water for starter and see if it works 🙂

[@karuna6376]

Does this develop probiotics in it or is this considered a yogurt substitute? (since you're not using probiotics to make the yogurt, I'm wondering if it's absent of probiotics)

[@HealthOrigins]

It will have a probiotic called lactic acid that is naturally present in the air.

[@Megsymop]

Could i use other beans or nuts to make yogurt the same way?

[@HealthOrigins]

I don't think the results or consistency would be quite the same as soy beans are the richest source of protein, but you could always give it a go - I love experimenting in the kitchen!

[@tj6959]

How was the taste!?

[@HealthOrigins]

Nice, slightly sour, fresh 🙂

[@lilaamonye1186]

Hi! You washed the soy beans soaked for how many hours before using the water.

[@HealthOrigins]

I soaked the beans for 12 hours.
