*ice cubes
*1 cucumber (sliced thinly into strips~save the cucumber juice though!)

*salt, adjusted to your taste
*black sesame seeds

What to do:
1. soak the soy beans overnight, drain them then put in pot, remove the casings
2.Boil the beans for 15 minutes or so
3. Rinse the boiled beans in cold water, cool down, and remove more skins...MAKE SURE THE SKINS ARE GONE!
4. Put 1 cup of the clean soybeans into the blender and blend until very fine and liquid. skins are removed.
5. Add 2 trp of Salt and blend more...get this to as liquidy as possible.
6. Pour the soup into bowls and add ice cubes into each bowl
7. Boil some water and once the water is boiling add the noodles.
8. While the noodles are cooking, slice up the cucumber and place all of it into a bowl.
