It was a ridiculously simple process. Soak the beans for at least 4 hours, put them into the blender with water, grind, sieve & boil. Voila.
I was however feeling that it was a waste to throw all the ground soy beans away. After all, it was still full of protein and vitamins. Then a thought crossed my mind. Soy patties!! I experimented with a small batch & finally made a larger batch for dinner tonight. Here's the recipe :)
Ashley's Guilt-free Soy Patties
- ground soy beans, drained
- coriander, minced
- garlic, minced
- green chili, minced
- red pepper, cubed
- eggs
- olive oil
- instant oatmeal
- black pepper
- salt
Mix all ingredients together. Keep adding oatmeal until the batter's consistency is stiff and similar to that of beef burgers. It should be able to retain its shape on the tray without any liquid oozing out.
Heat oven to 180C. Line a baking pan with baking paper and grease. Put 3-4 tablespoons of batter onto the pan and bake for at least 45min until golden brown. Towards the end, turn the patties over and bake for an additional 15-20min.
