Making our own deliciously fresh Soy Milk!

If you have ever tried Chinese style soy milk (豆漿: dòu jiāng), then you probably would have come to the conclusion that it tastes somewhat different to the mainstream brands of soy milk that are sold in most supermarkets.  Have you ever wondered just how soy milk is made and what actually goes into it?

Well, this week we decided to make traditional soy milk at home.  The result?  Deliciously fresh soy milk free from artificial flavouring, additives and preservatives made from just two ingredients, soy beans and water.

Easy way to grow Spring Onions

A few months ago, I wrote about an easy way to grow spring onions (also called scallions, salad onions or 葱).  Anyhow, a family member who lives in Sydney, Australia read the post and decided to try it out, resulting in great success and these fantastically lush green leaves.  What can I say?  These spring onions grown out of a container in Australia turned out even better than ours did in the UK.
