okara has a ton of nutrition left over after extracting soy milk from the soy bean pulp. and because of that, okara is something that you should consider repurposing in some way. otherwise, it's kind of a waste if you just throw it out.
because it has a mild flavor (most was extracted in the soy milk), okara is one of the most versatile ingredients you can use in your japanese cooking.
okara makes a great replacement for potatoes for example, or a filling for gyoza or korokke as well as hambaagu (japanese style hambuger). and even better, if you LOVE your baked goods like bread, cake, cookies etc okara is the perfect way to make each of those things more nutritious than they could ever be without okara!
some of my favorite ways to use okara are as follows-
🤸♂️hambagu with okaraハンバーグ
mixed with a little bit of brown rice and or tofu kinda like what i made in this video
japanese hamburger steak with tofu okara and shiitake (plant based)
• japanese hamburger ste...
all you need to make this a complete meal is a bowl of miso soup, some steamed veggies and maybe a side of rice or roasted potatoes. oishisoona!
🤸♂️ unohana or vegetables with okara 卯の花
this okara recipe gets it's name from the flower it resembles, if you've seen both, do they look alike? while there are many ways to make unohana, some of my favorites call for dashi and a mix of vegetables for a very refined and complex mixture of flavors and textures.
🤸♂️ korokke with okara コロッケ
deep fried korokke (croquette), while you CAN bake this, nothing is quite as good as the real thing fried in oil, might be worth a try if you've never had it before, especially if you love savory fried foods!
🤸♂️ potato salad with okara ポテトサラダ
a lot of different ways you can leverage the power of okara in salads, and one of my favorite is in a 'potato' salad, with which you can replace all of the potato 100% of it with okara or just a portion like 30-50 or 70% without much of an impact on flavor or texture
🤸♂️ baked goods with okaraパン
if you've seen any of my live japanese cooking videos before you might have noticed i really loved baked goods - cookies, cakes, and bread or some of my favorite things to eat and okara helps to add moisture, texture and a little bit of density on top of the excellent nutritional value it adds to your food. how about that?
did you also know if you can't use the okara right away, there are 2 ways to preserve it?
🤸♀️dry the okara. you can dry your okara in the oven on low heat, but the faster way to do it is in the microwave, on high 1-2 minutes and removed in between to mix and crush any lumps (which may become hard if you dont).
once completely dry it will have a light and fluffy texture like fine panko (japanese bread crumbs)
🤸♀️ freeze the okara in a freezer safe glass container or ziplock with air removed. use within 2-3 weeks.
🙄question of the day - have you tried making any of these japanese dishes with okara before? if not which do you think you'd try first? lmk in the comments !
