Okara Sea Burgers [gluten-free + vegan]

Is this a fishless burger or more like a no-crab cake? You decide. This savory patty is pan-fried crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. A little bit of nori helps to bring that fishy flavour while leaving our fishy friends in the ocean! I imagine this is what a crab cake is like as they are kind of delicate, but then, I have only had crab cakes once in my life. The flavour though, is very much like a deep-fried “filet o’ fish,” but the texture is something else. Not at all in a bad way, I actually love them! Okara is full of fiber though, so just one small sea burger is quite filling. WHAT THE HECK IS OKARA? Okara is the pulp leftover from making soymilk. It’s actually full of protein, fiber and other nutrients. You can also sometimes buy it from Asian markets, usually frozen. Here’s the recipe for making your own soymilk: Here’s one for making tofu from that soymilk:
