Instruction

Wash and soak soybeans in water overnight.

Drain the beans, remove their skins

Grind the soaked beans with 1 liter of water, well filter to get the soybean milk, then boil the milk with pandan leaves.

Stir well so that the bean milk does not burn or foam.

Once the mixture boils, lower the heat and continue to cook for about 5 more minutes.

Pour grape sugar in the pot of cooked soy milk, gently remove the foam. Put the cap on. Soy milk will become beancurd after 45 minutes to 1 hour

To make ginger sugar sauce, put jaggery, sliced ​​ginger, and drinking water in a pot, boil the mixture for 2-3 minutes or until you can smell the aroma of ginger.

Scoop beancurd into a bowl, pour the sauce all over. You can add coconut flakes or jelly to the bowl.
