Okara is a good alternative to starches when you're on a diet.

Instead of tofu you can use milk or soy milk, adding it gradually to the mixture. Potato gnocchi has a natural sweetness so you can add a little sugar to this okara gnocchi.
Use cling film when you roll the dough into a long sausage shape. Usually you cook gnocchi in boiling water but with this recipe it might be difficult for the gnocchi to hold its shape, so use a microwave to cook it instead. After it is microwaved, it will hold its shape even when mixed with the sauce. You can freeze this okara gnocchi. For 2 servings. Recipe by Kiyohono

Steps

1

Combine all the ingredients except the tofu. Mash the tofu and add gradually to the mixture.
2

Wrap the dough in cling film. Roll the dough into a long sausage shape with a 2 cm diameter. Cut into 1 cm pieces and shape into rough balls. Arrange on a plate.
3

Indent each gnocchi with the back of a fork. Cover loosely with cling film and microwave for about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes (or fry in a frying pan).
4

Even if the gnocchi is not cooked thoroughly, don't worry. When the hot sauce is added later, it will help heat it through.
5

If the fresh okara smells too strongly, measure it in a measuring cup and microwave it for 3 minutes uncovered. Add some water if it becomes too dry.
6

Fry vegetables such as carrots, green peppers and onions and stir in a store-bought pasta sauce to make a sauce for the gnocchi.
7

You can also shape the gnocchi dough into a thick circle with a 4 cm diameter and 2 cm thickness (it is not necessary to indent the gnocchi). Microwave for about 3 minutes. Cut in half.
8

Julienne the vegetables and fry with oil in a frying pan.
9

Add the gnocchi and stir in the sauce. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
