Beforehand: boil the soybeans until soft enough to puree, about 1 hour. Pre-soaking them
for a few hours can shorten the boiling time. Puree the cookeed soybeans.
Mix everything together in a big bowl. Add any extra flour as necessary if the mixture
is too sticky to hold together in patties. Shape into patties and fry in a little canola
until golden brown on each side. Serve in pita pockets, with plain yogurt, sprouts
or lettuce, whichever you prefer and a little thousand island dressing. I also like
to stick some sliced onions, a tomato slice, and a few cilantro leaves in too.
Note: feel free to throw a little of whatever you have on hand to stick them together, and spice up texture: oatmeal, sunflower seeds, whole-grain bread crumbs, and sauteed onion are a few things I've tried. |
