These okara burger patties are great inside a wrap or a burger, and are great for implementing a zero waste kitchen.

What is Okara?

Okara is the soy pulp that is left after straining and making soymilk. You can use this leftover okara for a variety of different recipes.

About The Patties

These are the first iteration of okara patties and used a baking method rather than a pan-frying method in order to reduce the amount of oil used. I also added additional health-boosting supplements in order to optimize the foods that we eat.

These patties are not particularly similar to garbanzo bean patties or regular mock beef patties. However, they are an option when. you have leftover okara, and do not want to waste the edible pulp:)

I also found that for whatever reason, these patties were better the next day after they have been in the refrigerator for a while. I think the ingredients integrate better and the patties overall congeal a bit better.

This recipe uses a beef broth base, however, for a vegetarian version, you can use the vegetable broth listed in the recipe card below.

How To Eat Okara Patties

• I like them with these rosemary & garlic Reduced Gluten Wraps sandwiched between veggies, sprouts, and mayo or this garlic aioli. (wraps to be posted)
• I’ve had it with spinach and cheese melted on top. I like these patties the best in wraps, however.

Patties or nuggets that can be made with leftover soybean pulp or okara

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb okara pulp
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 egg
• 1/2 chopped onion
• 1/2 chopped pepper
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1/2 cup chopped spinach
• 3 tbsp Better than Bullion Beef Base or Vegetable Base
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• OPTIONAL NUTRITION BOOST:
• 3-4 calcium magnesium tablets
• Collagen powder

Instructions

1. Mix everything together and form desired sized patties. You can also make these "nuggets" if you want. Adjust oven temp a little higher or increase "foil off" time in oven to make the outside crispy
2. Lay patties on a baking sheet and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes with cover or foil on. Afterwards, take foil off and bake for additional 25mins or so. Monitor outside of patties to assure they form a good, brown cooked exterior.
3. I prefer to let patties come to room temperature so that they firm up a bit. Next day is even better, as the patties set in the refrigerator overnight.
