With the continuous development of the food industry and the improvement of people's awareness of nutrition and health care, bean dregs food will have a broader development prospect. Okara can not only be used as feed, but will also become a high-quality food processing raw material, making greater contributions to mankind.
Okara is rich in nutrients, especially the dietary fiber content in the dry matter of Okara can reach more than 50%, which is an ideal natural dietary fiber source. Using bean dregs as raw materials to make various foods can increase the intake of dietary fiber, help prevent colon cancer, hypertension, diabetes and other diseases, and provide people with high-quality and low-cost health foods.
The bean dregs from making tofu last time have not been solved, and it was frozen into stone in the refrigerator. I just saw a recipe for bean dregs balls and decided to act. I was going to use carrots, but unfortunately I only have cucumbers at home, so use cucumbers instead. ! By the way, I added a tomato, which turned out to be sour. I would not add it if I knew it, but friends who like to eat sour can give it a try.

Ingredients

300g Okara

Okara Vegetarian Meatballs

1. Prepare two cucumbers and wash

2. Rub into filaments with a tool

3. Put in the basin

4. Wash tomatoes

5. Cut into small pieces and put them in a meat grinder

6. Install the cutter head and tighten

7. Install the meat grinder cup on the main machine of the food processor, turn on the switch and squeeze it into juice

8. Pour 300 grams of bean dregs into a basin containing shredded cucumber

9. Add flour

10. Then put the squeezed tomato juice

11. Put in the right amount of cornstarch

12. Add salt

13. Stir well

14. Use your hands to make small balls

15. Put half a pot of oil in the wok, heat the high heat to 40-50% hot, add the meatballs (into the pan twice, because the meatballs are a little too much, and the frying pan may not fit in the pan), change the low heat and fry until golden, The temperature must not be too high, as the oil temperature is high, it is easy to fry the meatballs outside and inside. When the oil temperature is hot on the 4th and 5th layers during frying, put the meatballs in the pot and fry them. Flip the balls halfway to make them evenly heated.

16. When the balls are already floating on the oil surface, the balls are almost cooked. You can fry them for another 1 or 2 minutes. If you are not sure whether the balls are cooked, you can take out a ball and taste it before it comes out of the pan. See if it's cooked.

Tips:
1. The bean dregs must be squeezed out of water. This step is very important and simple. Wrap the okara with a piece of clean gauze and squeeze out the moisture. If you do not squeeze out the moisture, the okara will disperse.
2. Add salt and chopped green onion seasoning as simple as possible,
3. All the main ingredients and auxiliary ingredients are mixed together and knead into balls.
4. Adding flour is the most important step, it will not fall apart when frying,
5. Fry on low heat until the balls turn golden yellow. The freshly fried meatballs are charred on the outside and tender on the inside. You can add some seaweed and green leafy vegetables to make a soup when it is cooled.
6. The amount of bean dregs added should be appropriate. If the amount added is too large, it will make the processing operation difficult, the product is not easy to shape, and the quality of the finished product is poor. For specific foods, it should be determined through experiments;
7. The characteristics of the convenience food should be maintained, and the texture, flavor, color and other characteristics of the food should not be affected by the addition of bean dregs. A lot of meticulous work needs to be done for which foods can be added to bean dregs, how to determine the amount of addition, and how to control the production process.
8. The oil temperature must not be too high, as the oil temperature is high, it is easy to burn the outer coke of the fried meatballs. When frying, be sure to use a low fire to fry. When the oil temperature is hot on the 4th or 5th layer, put the meatballs in the pot and fry them. Flip the balls in the middle to heat them evenly.
