    Make the soybean pulp. Soak the beans in water for a minimum of 3 hours. Boil the soaked beans for 15 minutes in a large, heavy-based saucepan. Drain the water and mash the beans in a blender until they are thoroughly combined. The soybean pulp is ready when the beans are blended into a stiff puree. Add water as needed during the blending process.

    Bake or fry the patties. If you choose to bake the patties, they will cook in an oven at 350ºF/177ºC until brown. If frying, keep an eye on the patties and turn over when each side browns. Best fried over a low heat to prevent burning.

  • Question
    Can one formulate a patty that is a blend of soybean and beef?

    Community Answer
    Yes, you can. One usually makes soy patties for vegetarians, so adding beef in that situation won't work, but if you're just trying to stretch the meat you have, soy will add bulk to your patty.
  • Question
    Where do I get soy pulp? Or do I have to make it?
