The Traditional Approach (a meal gone wrong)
Friday, March 7th, 2008It was a good idea, honestly! What better way to use okara than to lean on the popular uses I’d read about? The problem came in when I tried to apply what I’d read in an ill-conceived fashion. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t horrible it just ranked among those meals people refer to as weird hippie food if ya know what I mean. And the thing is, the meal wasn’t nutritionally a powerhouse, we had multiple fried dishes and it was really supposed to appeal to the junk food lover. Ah well.
The menu as planned consisted of the following: junk food tofu, croquettes, a stir fry with okara, shrimp egg foo yung (for familiarity and to appease those who might ask, “where’s the meat?”) and rice.
