Soy, Chinese Preparation Of

Equal quantities of beans and wheat are boiled together, and then triturated between stones, water being added occasionally. The mass is cooked in a pan, and cut into thin slices, which are kept covered with straw for about twenty days. When completely fermented, the separate slices having become mouldy, they are washed with water, placed in a vessel, and their weight of water and salt added. In this condition they are kept for a number of days, and are finally again triturated between stones.
