For those who havent heard of okara, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okara_(food).

I made this this afternoon using a recipe from a book, the taste was ok, but the texture a bit to chewy for my liking.

Cucumber salad

rice vinegar 1tbs
Ginger juice 1tbs
Garlic finely chopped 1clove

Learned this from a TV program. The taste was good, the spiciness, madness.

As advised by the chef who was teaching, should have used korean chilli flakes which is sweeter and not as biting. I bought the Japanese version.
