A few days ago, I shared a recipe on how to make [Homemade Soy Milk](https://peakd.com/hive-189869/@anggreklestari/homemade-soy-milk). From making that recipe, there was soy bean pulp (okara) left in my kitchen.


![IMG20240211213718.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23xeva2qxYM9x11jakGwCTWweGftRSp1iwY3fB6KQz63sseAWqN6MJ1a7YKvHyxSmNjJE.jpg)
In fact, after a while ago, I kept those *okara* grains in the refrigerator and today when I opened them, they were still in good condition. So, I decided to make a side dish menu from *okara* ingredients for dinner, which I served with rice.

*Okara* has a nice texture. Especially if we have squeezed the soy milk properly beforehand. That will result in okara grains that aren't soggy. Just a little damp.

The texture of *okara* reminds me of the scrambled tempeh and also scrambled tofu menu. It's just that the texture of tempeh and tofu is greater than the texture of *okara* because *okara* comes from pure soy beans that have not been fermented.

## <center>ROASTING OKARA</center>


![IMG20240211124720.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23yd859ov7tJ2pGJMntXES3dvM92AVaq9ipCu7FxkHm3zjSd7JW6DxFQe63qtSBMNz6JX.jpg)

Before entering the further cooking stage, here I roast *okara* first. The roasting process will make *okara* drier and crunchier. Also, the most important thing is that the strong *okara* smell typical of soy beans has disappeared due to this roasting process.

I roasted *okara* for 30 minutes per side. After that, I stirred the *okara*, and I baked it again for 30 minutes. Not finished here, I repeated the process once again. So, the roasting process can be adjusted to the dryness of the *okara* texture.


![IMG20240211124816.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23w2q22SyQVfqQg2Whk7KnGNo8u8fibeMACnBihPjwpYLAgjBEW5aaJEYpwjt47poFd8Z.jpg)

After the *okara* has been successfully roasted, the *okara* will last longer if stored if it cannot be finished all at once in one cooking.

Look at the texture of the *okara* really becoming dry. I even like to eat these *okara* grains without any additions. Tastes like similar snacks, although bland like oatmeals. Hehehe.

## <center>STIR FRY OKARA WITH VEGGIES</center>


![IMG20240211213251.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/241thVSigWzLNcrL4bRdsEsgRpJVhgC22KoeYMW3om2rpPcznFHLuFvnfJgBi2f1k3hRf.jpg)

A simple menu for dinner. I will stir-fry *okara* with Chinese cabbage and carrots. You can also replace those vegetables with other vegetables such as peas, or broccoli.

The cooking instructions are easy to follow once you have roasted *okara*. if you have no *okara*, you can substitute the general roasted tofu, or even lentils.

**THE INGREDIENTS**


![IMG20240211200547.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23wCLPoE9uWng1MRoTy1YosNXusiGfkhCpx9GJNFJzMmdcWtBTPsrSL2f1wh4MZUYPQDr.jpg)

- 1 1/4 cups of roasted *okara*
- 3 leaves of Chinese cabbage
- 1 carrot
- 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 5 small cloves of red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of coriander powder
- (optional) 1/2 tsp of chili powder

**COOKING INSTRUCTIONS**

**STEP 1**


![InShot_20240212_001234663.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/EoeGnq3KaxJt239v4Fh9EwGCP3cvUsRNygHEqCWLKe7Saz5pPAu7bXdKgh6fB6Y5LGd.jpg)

Cut into pieces Chinese cabbage. I cut the leaves into two parts first, then cut them again into pieces.

Also, chop the carrots into small pieces. Make some flower shapes if you want to use garnishes.

---

**STEP 2**


![InShot_20240212_001308022.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/EoK8ew5FTSMgzqm2uLuh8FEvQ2rrnhik9dw2xEXgvQUFSuZELABzzSZv16SuqqWRuwU.jpg)

With small heat, stir-fry garlic and red onion first until it smells delicious for a few moments. Then, add salt, coriander powder, and chili powder. Mix them well.

**STEP 3**


![IMG20240211203002.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23viCDP82Hj1gDiwjMdRYCAYnKS3B1ThWj2thrjBuwopz5WUW4LGeSw7gNuohcdcgxk56.jpg)
Add vegetables. Then, change the fire from low heat to medium heat. Stir-fry well until they wilt. Don't add water. So, it is important to use a non-stick pan. If you add water, the texture of the *okara* will become soft. If the texture of *okara* becomes mushy, I think it will become disgusting.

---
---
---

**STEP 4**


![IMG20240211203645.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23w32L1VwE1Z68YAUdYNVEU27yv1tchrNryQG8n1jr2kvpoWdijpGxk63VMYdG1jbYkVW.jpg)
Add roasted *okara* and mix well. For this step, use a small heat again. Then remove when the all ingredients are mixed well.

Serve stir-fried *okara* with rice. Here, you can unique chips. Those are unripe banana chips (my favorite chips). The results are great! I really like the texture of *okara* combined with veggies.


![IMG20240211213428.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/anggreklestari/23zbaZkPaAk1pkReqcqS6kp7zvUVtC27LZFi4XfAdw2csM9XoCLTD48rvzKTjA8kL3yjo.jpg)

This is the first time I have cooked this menu. So, no soy bean pulp left is wasted. Everything can be used. I am happy to share this experience with you. So, until next in my kitchen.
