About Okara

Okara is a by-product in tofu or soy milk production that’s often used as an ingredient for healthy food, such as flourless cakes and pancakes!

There are two types of okara available: raw okara or okara powder. I use raw okara in this recipe, but if you can’t find it easily, you can also use okara powder.

What is Okara good for?:

Okara is a healthy food and contains proteins, dietary fiber, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin B2. Also, it’s gluten-free and low in sugar, so it’s often used as a weight-loss-friendly food.

What to do with Okara:

The traditional okara dish is called “Unohana, “ simmered vegetables seasoned with dashi, soy sauce, and mirin.

It’s also often used in salads and desserts such as cookies, doughnuts, and cakes.

Yes, you can. Raw okara doesn’t last long but will last for one month by freezing. When using it, you can cook it without thawing.
