Ingredients

Vegetable oil

for frying

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Soy sauce

2 tablespoons

Egg

1, beaten

Breadcrumbs

1 cup (plus more for coating)

Garlic

2 cloves, minced

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the okara, chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
2. Shape the mixture into small croquettes, about 2 inches in diameter.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat, enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
4. Fry the croquettes in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
5. Once cooked, remove the croquettes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
6. Serve the okara croquettes hot as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy them on their own or with a tangy dipping sauce.
