Frequently asked questions

Why do the soybeans need to soak overnight?

Soaking the soybeans overnight softens them and reduces their cooking time, making them easier to blend into a smooth mixture. It also helps break down anti-nutrients like phytic acid, improving their digestibility and nutrient absorption.

Can I substitute oatmeal in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute oatmeal with breadcrumbs or ground flaxseed for binding, but oatmeal provides a hearty texture and boosts the patties' fiber content. Ensure the substitute has a similar ability to absorb moisture and thicken the mixture.

How do I know the patties are cooked through?

The patties are ready when they are golden brown on both sides and firm to the touch. Cooking them for 3-4 minutes per side on medium heat ensures they are properly cooked without becoming dry or burnt.

What is the role of Italian seasoning in this recipe?

Schwartz Italian seasoning adds a blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme, enhancing the flavor profile with a savory, aromatic touch. If you prefer a different flavor, you can experiment with other herb blends like Cajun seasoning or garam masala.

Can these soybean patties be frozen for later use?

Yes, you can freeze the patties after cooking. Let them cool completely, place them in an airtight container or freezer bag, and store for up to 3 months. Reheat them in a skillet or oven until warmed through for best texture.
