Okara

[Bob Dylan Thomas]

the tofu thread below mentioned Okara (豆腐渣). I made my own tofu for the first time ever last night and so i've also got a huge pile of okara left over. my question is this: what can i do with it?

i heard you can make dishes out of it but it's hard to digest. anyone got any advice?

[also i would recommend making your own tofu: it's quick, easy and fun.]

Bob:

Actually if you hesitate to put okara inside your stomach, you can use it as lawn food. The roses will blossom longer next spring

Is okara the left-over from the soy bean after the soy milk has been extracted?

If it is, the best thing would be to compost it (ie if you have a compost bin or heap) Should still be rich in nitrogen.

(I am trying to establish an organic garden and I have some vegetables ready for harvesting)
