Momo mitsu-nyu, a plant based tres leches with peach

Freshly invented, this is the Japanese tres leches. Momo, the peach. Mitsu-nyu, 3 milks. It is vegan, gluten free, and oishii !

More about “tres leches” cake and basic recipe.

This is okara, the fiber left after you squeeze out soy milk. I often make cakes with it.

I’ve made a very simple vanilla okara cake, very simple :
1 cup of okara, 2 tbs of potato starch, 2 tbs of cane sugar, 1 tbs of dry coconut, vanilla powder, enough water to get a sticky dough. Baked on low heat in 2 round molds.

Next day, I’ve soaked the dried cooled cakes.
Syrup : coconut milk + coconut cream + 1 small chunk of kurozako black sugar.
I consider soy creaminess from the okara makes the 3rd milk.

That’s the texture you obtain.

A few hours later, I’ve piled the 2 rounds and garnished.
Cream : coconut cream, powder sugar and green kinako (a grilled soy powder). I’ve completed with slices of peach.

A fresh creamy cake that will live long enough to take and photo and then disappear into the paradise of great food memories…

New ginger carrot okara cookies

I made these savory cookies to use leftovers. They ended up like heath store cookies, full of fibers and good nutrients.

Carrot lees, what is left from juicing.

Okara, the leftover from making tofu and soy milk.

New ginger, still pink like a little baby. It’s available in Summer. Ginger pickles are made with it.

Carrot + okara + minced ginger. I’ve added miso and powdered sesame for flavor, potato starch for binding.

Spread on cooking paper, with more sesame seeds.

After baking, they are still soft. The next day, they hardened and flavors have combined.

Okara veggie patties

I had okara as a by product from making tonyu (soy milk), this time from black soy milk. Okara is also sold in supermarkets or tofu shops here. It’s full of fibers.

Okara, onion, kabocha pumpkin, sesame and parsley paste, ninniku no me (garlic stalks), grated ginger, potato starch, miso.

Mixed. Then formed into patties and pan-fried.
