How to Make Tofu Pulp Cakes: A Simple Guide

Tofu pulp cakes, a nutritious and budget-friendly snack, are easy to make with leftover soybean pulp from tofu-making. Here’s a basic guide to get you started.

First, prepare the pulp: Squeeze out excess water from 2 cups of fresh tofu pulp, then mix it with 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 egg, and 2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste). Add a pinch of salt for balance. For extra flavor, fold in chopped green onions, grated carrots, or sesame seeds.

Gradually pour in 4–5 tablespoons of milk or water until the batter reaches a thick, spoonable consistency. Let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat, lightly grease it with oil, and drop spoonfuls of batter. Cook for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. For a crispier texture, flatten the cakes slightly with a spatula.

Serve warm with soy sauce, honey, or yogurt. These cakes are not only delicious but also a great way to reduce food waste. Enjoy experimenting with different ingredients to create your own favorite version!
