Vegan Tofu Balls

Ex-Pat Mama's Note:

These delicious meatball alternatives are great with pasta and tomato sauce. They are gluten-free and sugar-free and appropriate for the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse. They are a bit fragile so be careful when removing them from the pan. This recipe is only slightly adapted from the Post Punk Kitchen website.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 300 g tofu, extra-firm
• 1 small onion, chopped fine
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce, gluten-free
• 3 tablespoons peanut butter, no sugar added is best
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, gluten-free
• rice flour, to roll the balls in
• oil, to fry the balls in

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients except for the rice flour and oil. Mix thoroughly by hand. Don't use a mixer because the mixture will be too soft and gooey.
2. Roll the tofu balls in the rice flour and then fry until golden brown all over - about 5 minutes.

This a great healthy alternative to ordinary ground beef meatballs which are loaded with cholesterol and saturated fat. You barely even taste the tofu in this, and I used a secret ingredient of crushed cheese its for extra flavor. Firming the tofu was easy with a press I got from TofuXpress, drained the water in a cinch. Good recipe.
