Okroshka with kefir and beef - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Beef can be substituted with cooked chicken, turkey, or even tofu for a vegetarian option. Ensure the protein is fully cooked before adding.
Okroshka tastes best fresh, but you can store it in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add the kefir or dressing just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Absolutely! Omit the beef and eggs, and add extra veggies like bell peppers or avocado. Use plant-based mayo or yogurt instead of sour cream if needed.
Freezing is not recommended, as vegetables and dairy-based dressings don’t thaw well. Prepare fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Plain yogurt, buttermilk, or a mix of sour cream and water work well as substitutes for kefir. Adjust consistency with a splash of cold water if needed.
Reduce potatoes or replace them with cauliflower or radishes for a lighter, low-carb version while keeping the crunch and freshness.
Set up a garnish bar with extra herbs, boiled eggs, and crispy veggies so guests can customize their bowls. Keep the broth chilled in a pitcher.
Yes! Chop and boil ingredients a day in advance, but store them separately. Assemble with dressing just before serving to maintain freshness.
