Can I use soy milk in place of regular milk?!


Question: Can I use soy milk in place of regular milk!?
I'm thinking of making a fish dish that has a cream sauce poured over it!. I can't tolerate cream, so I was going to use very little milk for body and chicken stock or clam juice to make up for the liquid!. Then it occurred to me that I have a 1/2 gallon of soy milk in the fridge, and may not need to buy any regular milk today!. I've not cooked with soy milk - is it interchangeable in this type situation!? Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Plain soy milk - not vanilla - can be used in place of regular cow's milk!. I can't have dairy either so I do this type of substitution all the time!. However, it won't be thick like the cream so if you need to thicken the sauce use a little arrowroot or cornstarch in the cold liquid then heat the sauce!. It will help it to thicken it!. Cornstarch works best but in recipes where you need to keep the sauce clear, use the arrowroot (it is usually more expensive, too!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

Depends on how much of a soy convert you are!. Soy milk (made by grinding soybeans, cooking them briefly, then squeezing them to release their liquid) can be added to recipes in place of cow’s milk, in a one-to-one ratio!. But in taste tests, it has been found that no soy milk tastes like cow's milk, and all soy milks are not alike!. The variation in flavor and color from one brand of soy milk to the next can be huge!.

The soy milks sold in aseptic packages are generally on the sweet side, so may be most appropriate for use in desserts!. In savory dishes, soy milk can work fine, as long as the other flavors of the dish don’t fight with the somewhat sweet and beany taste of the soy milk!. Soy milk will also curdle when boiled, but that may not matter in stews or other thick dishes!. To avoid curdling, use it in dishes that contain little or no acid, add it at the end of the cooking process, and don’t let it come to a boil!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yes you can!.!.

actually soy milk is healthier then regular milk!.
less fattening, and its vegetarian

and, with soy milk, it would ad a little different taste!. but still yummy

good luck!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes!. Just make sure it isn't a flavored soy milk!. I cook with soy milk all the time (I'm vegan), and I buy the unsweetened variety!. But as long as you have plain soy milk, it should do just fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
