Tofu costs as much as pork chops in New York City. You can make better tofu at home for a fraction of the price — and get a miracle food in the bargain.

Tofu has been keeping people healthy for over 2,000 years. But what most people don't know is that the process of making tofu produces a byproduct — okara, the fibrous soy pulp left in the cheesecloth — that may be more valuable to your health than the tofu itself.

In this practical, no-jargon guide, Marcus Eigh shows you how to make tofu from scratch using nothing more than a blender, a pot, and dried soybeans. Along the way, you'll discover okara: a food with 11.5 grams of fiber per 100g (three times more than broccoli), 77 calories per serving, and a two-thousand-year track record in some of the world's healthiest, longest-lived populations.

Inside this guide you'll find:

• Step-by-step tofu-making with photos-style descriptions — soak, blend, strain, curdle, press
• The full story of okara: what it is, why it's been overlooked, and why that's changing
• The Japanese principle of hara hachi bu — eat until 80% full — and how okara makes it effortless
• Current science: 2023 clinical trials showing okara reduces body fat, increases muscle, and improves gut microbiome
• Where to buy okara, how to store it, and how to make it without making tofu
• Two foundational recipes: stir-fried okara with ginger and scallion, and okara crabcakes
• The economic case: why homemade tofu costs a fraction of the $5-a-pack supermarket price

The Okinawans — the world's most concentrated population of centenarians — have been eating this way for generations. The science now confirms what tradition always knew.
