First of all, you need to talk about one of the components necessary for cooking lean pasta in a navy way. This is okara - a cake left over from the preparation of soy milk.
To get okara you need to soak dry soy in cold water at night. In the morning, drain the water, pour a fresh portion of water at the rate of 1.2 liters of water per 200 grams of dry soy. Wipe soybeans with water with a submersible blender, then strain the mass through gauze and squeeze thoroughly. Get soy milk and okara.

Since it is believed that in raw form soy may contain a certain amount of toxins, the okara must first be steamed or fried. After a short heat treatment, okara can be used.
