things people ask

• Why would a recipe call for okara by the teaspoon?
  Mostly for emulsification or quiet thickening. A teaspoon stirred into a miso dressing or tahini dip pulls the oil and water together and gives the sauce a creamier mouthfeel without the dairy. It also shows up in some Japanese home recipes as a small accent in tamagoyaki or in the dipping sauce for grilled vegetables.
• Will a teaspoon of okara change the flavor of a dressing?
  Barely. At 2.5 g per teaspoon, the soy taste is buried under vinegar, citrus, miso, or sesame. What you'll notice is texture — the dressing clings to leaves a bit better and looks slightly opaque rather than glassy. If you want the okara to read more clearly, double to two teaspoons and lean into a sesame-soy profile.
• How fresh does okara need to be for teaspoon-scale uses?
  Very. Okara is highly perishable — refrigerated, it keeps two to three days before souring, and the off-flavor shows up faster in raw uses like dressings than in cooked dishes. For small accents, work from a batch made or bought within 48 hours, or freeze portions in tablespoon scoops and thaw what you need.
