Tofu & Okara Springy and Chewy Nuggets

I wanted to try making tofu nuggets that weren't deep-fried, and finally managed to make these.
If making them in the shapes of onigiri rice balls like shown in the photo, wrap them in plastic wrap so that they don't stick to the shaping mold to make it easier.
You could also mix in cheese, seaweed, jako fish, to add some calcium. This would give yet a different flavor and make them even more nutritious. Recipe by sayata

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Without draining the tofu, put everything into a bowl and mix.
- 2
You can optionally make cute shapes. This time I used onigiri rice ball shapers to make them sort of like taiyaki (fish shaped pancakes filled with red bean paste).
- 3
Heat oil in a frying pan and pan-fry both sides until browned.
- 4
Once they have browned to your preference, they're done. Serve with vinegar and soy sauce, Japanese mustard and soy sauce, sugar and soy sauce, or ketchup.

Instant Tofu Nuggets Instant Tofu Nuggets
I don't really like buying readymade stuff for the things that I serve to my kids everyday. So I sort of fumbled my way through things as usual, to come up with this recipe.Having a little ice cream scooper is really handy when making bite-sized croquettes or hamburgers. I got mine at a 100 yen store. If you're not too concerned about the shape of the nuggets you can use a spoon instead, in which case it'll go even faster. I think these are tastier if you add plenty of spices. For 28-32 nuggets. Recipe by Usajisan cookpad.japan -
Tofu and Natto Chewy Okonomiyaki Tofu and Natto Chewy Okonomiyaki
This is my "Okonomiyaki with a Twist" recipe that uses only a single frying pan to make the most of regular ingredients. Let the okonomiyaki flour do its job for a fluffy and umami-rich batter! It's even egg-free - the batter is so chewy thanks to tofu, and it feels really different from regular okonomiyaki. What an inspiring dish!I've listed only the minimum amount of water because silken tofu is added to the batter. If the batter is too difficult to mix, add a small amount of water. Also serve with mayonnaise. For 2 servings. Recipe by Nisshin foods cookpad.japan -
Simple Tofu and Tuna Nuggets Simple Tofu and Tuna Nuggets
My mother often made this for me.It's healthier if you drain the oil from the canned tuna but it becomes richer if you leave it in, so I always leave it in. Adjust the flour according to the state of the batter. If it falls with a splat, it's just right. Adding chopped onions will give it a crisp texture and it'll taste great.

Okara and Tofu Chocolate Cake Balls Okara and Tofu Chocolate Cake Balls
I wanted to eat some chocolate quickly, so I mixed it with some okara from my refrigerator, and I added tofu as well to make a chewy treat!Microwave to your desired texture. The hardness is a little different depending on the time, but it's good whether you cook it for 3 or 5 minutes! (Note) If you do a test run with just one ball, you can check how far you can steam it without it burning. The amounts are approximate, so you can use a little more or less of the ingredients. The ratio of okara to tofu to chocolate should be 1 : 1 : 1 for a chewy texture. Recipe by Rinkachan cookpad.japan -
Healthy Okara Nuggets Healthy Okara Nuggets
I made some okara stew, but I didn't know what to do with the leftover okara. After some thought, I made them into nuggets. They were surprisingly delicious. My husband loved them too.For the seasoning, try Dashida, soup stock, chicken stock, or any other condiments of your choice. I'm sure people would mistake these nuggets as meat if they didn't know what they were made from.Okara is packed with fiber and calcium which makes this dish great for expecting mothers.If the nuggets are too crumbly, try adding some tofu for adjustment.
