The Magic Soybean Milk Machine

Sometimes you don't have time to primly chop all the vegetables and plan out your dishes for the day. On those days, the Magic Soybean Milk Machine comes to the rescue.

It makes delicious soymilk, of course, and a pretty good rice porridge--both of which are great for breakfast. According to the buttons on the machine, it also makes 5-cereal milk, corn juice, green bean milk, fruit puree, and thick soup. I haven't tried the corn juice yet, and for quite a while I was just pressing buttons, unable to read the Chinese on the machine.

The machine is magic because you just dump the ingredients in, add some water, and press a button. ten to twenty minutes later you're eating.

Some of my best attempts include salsa (deep fry some jiaozi wrappers to makeshift tortilla chips), pasta sauce, and virtually any kind of pureed soup you can imagine (roasted red pepper has been a hit with my friends here; for cream soups add the cream after cooking because the machine will scorch the milkfat). In the fall, apple cider is easy if you can find some cinnamon. In the spring, when strawberries are cheap and plentiful, I start my mornings with a smoothie or puree.
