Healthy Matcha Biscotti
This easy to make biscotti is healthy because of the matcha, green tea powder that is rich in vitamins and antioxidant. And the okara makes it even healthier. Okara is soybean meal, a byproduct of the making of tofu. Okara is basically dregs from making soy milk. It is rich in fiber and protein and low in fat. Okara is not usually available at regular markets—but we are lucky in Portland, Oregon. A tofu manufacturer, Ota Tofu in east downtown, has it most of the time. Okara is not their products’ list so you have to ask for it. The price is very low. They sometimes just give it away with no charge. Please buy something else and then ask for okara! You can find dried, powdered okara on Amazon.com. Use 20g of okara powder and increase the amount of the milk to combine all the ingredients.
