2. 2 Strain the soy milk through a fine cloth, bring to a boil, and skim off the foam for 10 minutes.
3. 3 Dissolve the gelatin powder in cold water and let it swell for 5 minutes, then stir it into the hot soy milk.
4. 4 Pour into a clean pot, cover, and let stand for 60 minutes until it solidifies into a smooth mass.

With an appliance

• Oven 48 min

  Replace step 2: Pour the filtered soy milk into a covered saucepan, place it on the middle rack of the oven at 150 degrees Celsius for 12 minutes; about 2 minutes longer than on the stovetop, but the gentle heat prevents the milk from burning or overflowing and eliminates the need for constant stirring. The gelatin will remain dissolved after removing the saucepan.
