Okara Patties

Updated: Sep 7, 2020


Okara is the bean mash you get when you make soy milk. It is a wonderful ingredient we use for making what we call Pak Patties: our vegan burgers. We like to make them not to big, but the size is up to you really. A wonderful addition to our buffet meals as a side dish, served with some delicious sweet chili sauce.
