In this way, okara and cereal amino acids can complement each other, thereby improving protein utilization. The method is to boil grains such as rice and bean dregs together, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer until thick, then add it directly to the dough when making steamed buns.
It can also be made into other foods:
1. Make meatballs. Make bean dregs into meatballs and eat them. Pork and chicken legs are recommended as meat ingredients, which not only complements the amino acids but also enhances the umami flavor of the meat.

Of course, in the same way, soy milk and dough can also be used to make steamed buns, bread, rolls, etc. However, it is not suitable for making cakes, biscuits, etc., because these pastas require lower protein content.
When corn flour is used to make steamed buns, the texture is relatively hard. Adding soy milk and bean dregs instead of water will soften the texture. Because the dietary fiber in bean dregs has water-absorbing properties, soy lecithin will soften the steamed buns; since the protein in corn lacks lysine, adding soy milk can greatly improve the nutritional value of the steamed buns, and the dietary fiber in bean dregs is low. Glycans, isoflavones and minerals are all available.
