3 . Healthy with Okara! Light and Fluffy Cheese Snacks
Healthy with Okara! Light and Fluffy Cheese Snacks
I wanted to make a cheesy version of my favorite okara cookies, and this is it. They came out light and fluffy more like choux pastry puffs than cookies, and were really delicious, so I wrote the recipe down and uploaded it before I forget it.
Ingredient
100 grams
Fresh okara
100 grams
Cream cheese
2 tbsp
Skim milk powder
20 grams
Sugar (or artificial sweetener)
50 grams
Grated cheese
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Put all the ingredients except the grated cheese into a bowl, and mix together with a spoon or fork. Add the grated cheese and mix in.
* Step 2
Line a baking sheet with a parchment paper (silicone mat). Form the dough into balls, and put on the sheet. Bake for about 25 minutes in a 340°F/170°C oven and they're done!
* Step 3
I tried piping out the dough like the ones in this photo. They look very cute. In either case, the dough is not firm like cookie dough; it's very light!

4 . Healthy With Tofu: Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki
Healthy With Tofu: Fluffy Light Okonomiyaki
My husband from Kansai investigated the proper size to cut the cabbage, how to cook the pancakes, and so forth when he was in college.
The tofu tip was given to me by my sister in law.
Ingredient
1 block
Silken tofu
150 grams
Nagaimo yam
2
Eggs
300 grams
Cabbage
8 slice
Thinly sliced pork belly
Cooking instructions
* Step 1
Make the batter: Mix the tofu in a bowl until smooth with a spoon. Add the grated nagaimo yam and egg, and mix well.
* Step 2
Add the flour and mix. It should be the consistency where a spoonful drops down with a plop.
* Step 3
Cut up the vegetables: cut the cabbage into 1 cm square pieces, and the green onion 3 mm thick. If you chop up the stem part of the cabbage too, it will add a crunchy texture.
* Step 4
Heat up a frying pan without any oil. Cook the pork belly slices on one side only and take out. Wipe out the excess oil from the frying pan.
* Step 5
Divide the batter into half. Add half the additional ingredients except for the pork belly to the batter, and mix while incorporating air.
* Step 6
Heat up the frying pan again over low heat and pour in the combined batter. Lay the pork belly slices on top with the uncooked side facing up.
* Step 7
Cook the pancake for 5 to 6 minutes on each side without a lid. When it's cooked through, raise the heat to medium and continue cooking until the surface is browned to your liking.
* Step 8
Cover with okonomiyaki sauce, mayonnaise, bonito flakes, and aonori seaweed, and it's done! Repeat with the rest of the batter and additions.

frozen mixed berries
Splash
kefir (for liquids)
Tbsp
Chia seeds
Tbsp
Flax seeds

Add all the ingredients to a blender and pulse until it blends together (this may take awhile because we’re making thick smoothie bowls and blenders may take a while to process the hard ingredients)

Turn on smoothie mode if your blender has it, if not then just turn it onto the normal mode until it blends together into a smooth texture..

Transfer it to your bowl and add fruit to top it (the green powder I put on top of is a matcha powder which I mixed in later) Enjoy! 😋
