Okara Crab Cakes

---

This recipe comes from fatfree vegan kitchen. i was looking for recipes to use okara after i received my soymilk maker and this is one that i found. Use a food processor to chop of the vegetables quickly. i've also let the mixture rest overnight with no problems. Prep time includes the 10 minutes to rest the mixture. Now, you won't mistake these patties for real maryland crab cakes by any means. But, if you're looking for something a little different, you may find these are a good option.
