Cooking steps

1

Rinse and soak soybeans in water overnight or for at least 8 hours for optimal extraction.
2

Drain beans, combine with fresh water, and blend on high until completely smooth, then strain using cheesecloth for creamy soy milk.
3

In a bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk in beaten egg, milk, sugar, and canola oil until a soft dough forms.
4

Cover dough and let rest for 1 hour at room temperature; this relaxes gluten and ensures puffiness when frying.
5

Roll out dough on a floured surface to about ½ inch thick. Cut into 1x5 inch strips, stack pairs, and press a chopstick in the center to bond.
6

Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F (190°C). Fry prepared dough in batches, turning constantly with tongs, until golden and puffy—about 2–3 minutes per batch.
7

In a saucepan, gently simmer strained soy milk for 7–8 minutes, stirring constantly and skimming foam as needed. Sweeten to taste while hot.
8

Serve hot soy milk in bowls or cups with freshly fried you tiao on the side for dipping.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What are the key ingredients that define Soy Milk with You Tiao?

The cornerstone ingredients for this dish are soybeans for the fresh, creamy soy milk, and all-purpose flour for creating the crispy, chewy you tiao. These, along with egg, a touch of milk, and minimal oil, are crucial for achieving the classic texture and flavor balance that makes this breakfast iconic.

Q. How do I control oil temperature for the crispiest you tiao?

Maintain the oil at 375°F (190°C) when frying you tiao. If the oil is too cool, the dough will absorb excess oil and become greasy; too hot, and the exterior burns before the inside puffs. Fry in small batches, turning the sticks frequently, to ensure even, golden puffiness.

Q. How can I prevent dense or greasy you tiao?

Letting the dough rest for 1 hour relaxes gluten, resulting in a light, puffy you tiao. Rolling out to the correct thickness and stacking strips with a firm press ensure uniform expansion. Always fry at the right temperature—undercooked you tiao may be dense or oily.

Q. What is the nutritional breakdown per serving?

Each serving (250g) provides about 310 kcal, with approximately 38g carbohydrates (49%), 12g protein (15%), and 11g fat (36%). This balance delivers satisfying vegetarian protein alongside moderate carbs and fats, making it a nutritious breakfast combo.
