Okara Gnocchi

Directions

1. 1
   Stir the okara and salt well in a bowl.
2. 2
   Add the katakuriko and mix some more.
3. 3
   Add water.
4. 4
   The gnocchi batter will become too crumbly if you mix with a spoon or similar after adding water, so squeeze and knead it with your hands instead.
5. 5
   Roll into bite-sized balls as if you're making dumplings.
6. 6
   Shape them with your fingers and press down to flatten slightly.
7. 7
   Cook for about 3 minutes in boiling water until the gnocchi float to the top.
8. 8
   Done!
9. 9
   Heat some tomato sauce in a frying pan.
10. 10
    Mix it up with the gnocchi to serve.

    An alternative would be stir-frying the gnocchi to season with salt and pepper, or to serve with grainy mustard and yuzu pepper.
