How To Say ‘Soy Milk’ In Mandarin Chinese
What Is It?
Soy milk is a plant-based drink produced by soaking and grinding soybeans, boiling the mixture, and filtering out remaining particulates. While taken as a non-dairy milk alternative in the west, it is a popular choice for breakfast with a long tradition in China. The production process has been industrialized so that soymilk in packages/bottles are available at almost all grocery stores. But picky locals still prefer freshly made soy milk paired with youtiao (Chinese fried crullers) when it comes to breakfast. It is usually served two ways – either sweetened by sugar or made savory by adding soy sauce, vinegar, and sesame oil.
