I love Cookpad user akiaki-san's [Okara Steamed Bread with a Rice Cooker or Microwave]. I came up with this when I was playing around with her recipe. I also referred to another Cookpad user's cheesecake recipe for hints as well.

*Use processed cheese of the non-melting type. Some varieties (Mini Babybel cheese, sliced cheese, etc...) are harder to melt, but I mix it into the dough even if it's not completely melted. *If you boil the milk too much, it'll evaporate and eventually reduce, so try to keep an eye on it. Add more milk if necessary. (Refer to the photo in Step 4 for how it's supposed to look like.) *This recipe uses the minimum amount of sugar, so please adjust to your liking. For the size of 1 carton of milk (1 l or 1 quart). Recipe by Rinkachan

Steps

1

Mix together the okara and pancake mix.
2

Heat milk, sugar, and finely chopped cheese in a pot. Melt the cheese without bringing it to a boil.
3

Turn the heat off when the cheese melts. When it's slightly cooled, add egg and stir.
4

Combine and mix the dry ingredients (Step 1) and liquid ingredients (Step 3). Add lemon juice. Pour into a microwave-safe mould and microwave at 500 W for 15 minutes. *If you feel that the milk has evaporated and reduced (Step 2), feel free to add more milk.

[Tips:] It's better to remove from the mould after it's slightly cooled. Chill in the fridge for best results.

[A Variation with Different Measurements:] 150 g okara and 150 g pancake mix. Bake in 180°C (356°F) oven for 30 minutes. With these ingredients, it'll rise a lot. It's fluffier than the regular version, but higher in calories.
