Okara Waffles - Waffles with Soy Pulp

I got more Okara today, yeah! This recipe is based on the waffle recipe from Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book. I added Okara, took part of flour and milk out.


What I used:

• 1 cups wholewheat flour
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
  
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup soy milk
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1 cup Okara (Soy Pulp)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Stir together flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl; set aside
   
2. In another bowl beat eggs slightly; stir in soy milk, cooking oil, Okara, and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Add egg mixture all at once to the flour mixture. Stir just until moistened. (batter should be slightly lumpy).
4. Pour 1 to 1 1/4 cups of batter onto grids of a preheated, lightly greased waffle baker. Close lid quickly; do not open until done. Bake according to manufacturer's directions.

It will take a couple of minutes longer to bake than regular waffles.

Okara Scone - Scone with Soy Pulp

Another batch of Soymilk and another try for a recipe with Okara!
This Scone turned out great! Both my husband and I like not so sweet scones, so you might want to add more sugar, or glaze it.


What I used:

• 2 cups of wholewheat flour
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon powdered ginger
• 1/3 cup of cold butter
• 1 cup of Okara
• 1/4 tablespoon of soymilk
• 1 egg

1. Preheat oven to 425 degree F. Lightly oil a baking sheet and flour them.

2. Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.

3. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. In a separate bowl put Okara, soymilk, and an egg. Mix them really well.

5. Fold wet ingredients into dry ingredients.

6. Put dough onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a circle (about 8 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick). Cut them into 8 pieces like you would cut a pie.

7. Bake for about 15 minutes. Cool them on a wire rack.

You can put powdered sugar over it if you want!

Okara Chicken Nuggets with Teriyaki Sauce

I made soy milk today again. So I got more fresh Okara today again. Last Okara dish I tried was a disaster, but I decided to keep experimenting every time I get Okara. Today's experiment actually turned out pretty good!


What I used:

• 1 cup of Okara (Soy Pulp from Soymilk)
• 1 cup of ground Chicken
• 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• pinch of black pepper
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  

1. Mix all the ingredients together well.

2. Pour the 1 tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet. Preheat over medium-high heat. Drop the mixture on to the skillet using dinner spoon. (about the size and shape of chicken nuggets)

3. Cook them for about 5 minutes, turn them halfway to brown both sides evenly.

4. When both sides of nuggets are browned, pour well mixed teriyaki sauce ingredients below in to the skillet. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minitues more.

Teriyaki Sauce: For the teriyaki sauce I actually used 1/3 cup of left over Sobatsuyu with 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch, but if you don't have it you can use these ingredients:

• 2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoon sake (optional)
• 1/2 tablespoon of cornstarch

Okara Nuggets with Hijiki and Carrot trial

I made some soymilk today, so I got more Okara (soy pulp). Since the Okara Falafel I made last week was a big success, I decided to make something similar. Instead of putting parsley and garlic, I put Hijiki and carrots. My daughter liked it. I thought they are so so. I think everything taste good to my daughter if they are fried and with sweet chili sauce....

What I used:

• 2 cups of Okara
• 1/2 onion - finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Hijiki
• 1/2 cup Carrots - finely chopped
• 1/3 cup Flour

I washed and drained Hijiki (I didn't soak it in water, since my Okara is pretty moiste), then mixed all the ingredients together and fried them for 5 to 7 minutes with 350 degrees F oil.

Hijiki is a brown sea vegetable growing wild on rocky coastlines. It is known to be rich in dietary fibre and essential minerals such as calcium(1400mg/100g),iron(55.0mg/100g) and magnesium(620mg/100g).

Next time, I might add green onions instead of regular onion, and maybe shelled edamame in the dough....

Okara Falafel Recipe!

Okara Falafel Recipe using Soy Pulp from your homemade Soymilk! I was driving when I thought about making Falafels out of Okara (soy pulp you get when you make soymilk). I thought I was a genius when I came up with the idea. Then I went home and typed "Okara Falafel" on internet; sure enough there were many of them. Here is the recipe I came up with after reviewing many different recipes.


You will need:

• 2 cups of Okara
  
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
  
• 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup of fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 3/4 cup of wholewheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 teaspoon Pepper
• Oil for frying

1. Mix all the ingredients except the oil in a large bowl.

2. Heat 2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F.

3. Scoop the mixture with a dinner spoon and drop them into the oil one at a time.

4. Fry them for 4 to 7 minute.

The result was great! I tried hummus, sweet chili sauce, and tonkatsu sauce for dipping, and all of them were pretty good. I liked sweet chili sauce dipping better than others! Please let me know what you think about the recipe! I am thinking about adding Hijiki and Carrots next time to make it more like Ganmodoki.
