Okara
About
Okara is Japanese for "honorable pulp" and is the pulpy by-product of making tofu from soybeans. It is insoluble in water, so after blending water and soybeans and filtering out the soymilk, okara is left behind. It is good source of protein and can be used in many vegetarian meals as a meat substitute.
