Ingredients- Fresh Soy Milk 100-150g (Recommended: freshly ground at a tofu shop or homemade)
- Sesame Seeds, a pinch (for nutty aroma)
- Pink Salt, a pinch (or regular salt, to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the soy milk. I purchased a bottle of freshly ground soy milk from a local tofu shop. Unpasteurized, freshly made soy milk without preservatives can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. If you’re making it at home, soak soybeans, boil them, remove the skins, and blend in a mixer.
Step 2
Grind the sesame seeds. Place the sesame seeds in a mortar and pestle and grind them about 60% of the way. You don’t want a fine powder; a slightly crushed texture will release more of its nutty flavor. If you have almonds, walnuts, or other nuts, you can grind them together with the sesame seeds for added richness.
Step 3
Add the ground sesame seeds to the soy milk. Pour the soy milk into a glass or bowl. Sprinkle the ground sesame seeds on top. The fragrant aroma of freshly ground sesame will enhance the overall taste of the soy milk.
Step 4
Season with salt. To make the soy milk even more savory and delicious, add just a tiny pinch of salt. I used pink salt for its health benefits. Using a salt grinder will help distribute the salt evenly without clumping. If using regular salt, add only a very small amount to adjust the taste.
Step 5
Enjoy your Kongmul! Drink the soy milk slowly, savoring it as if you’re chewing it in your mouth. This method helps to appreciate its creamy texture and nutty flavor even more. It’s perfect as a breakfast substitute or a healthy snack.
