Seaweed Okara Cake (By Product of Homemade Soy Milk)
Fresh Okara After you have made your own soy milk, you will be left with the soybean pulp (okara) after all the “milk” is strained out. Don’t throw them away because okara is a nutritional powerhouse, containing soluble and non-soluble fiber, protein, calcium and other minerals. Fresh okara has a short shelf life, like soymilk or tofu, or you can freeze it or dry them in the oven for longer shelf life.
Okara by itself taste bland, but it is extremely useful when added to other food. You can add it to baked goods, use it as an egg substitute, add it to soups and stews, or mix it into veggie burgers.
