•To reduce cooking time: Pre-soaking the beans overnight will reduce the cooking time by an hour.
•Pressure cooking: Use of a pressure cooker will reduce the cooking time to around half an hour.
•To make soya milk: Soak for at least 10 hours before liquidising into a paste using a blender (using 10 cups of water to every cup of soya beans). Optionally, cook the mixture in a pan for 30 minutes. Strain through a cheesecloth and add sugar to taste.
