Another way to incorporate tofu in our meals. These tofu balls are made with crumpled tofu, some vegetables, flour for binding and Panko bread crumbs for crispiness. Takes about 10 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to cook. You can serve it as an appetizer with some dipping sauce or make a meal out of it by adding them to sweet chili sauce and served over steamed rice. This is similar to vegetable macnchurian. Recipe adapted from thefoodietakesflight.com.
Ingredients :
1 lb. extra firm tofu, pressed and drained
1 small carrot, peeled and grated
1/2 cup diced red and green pepper
2 spring onion, chopped
salt to taste (1 tsp)
2 tsp soy sauce
Ground black pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour (maida)
1/2 cup quick oatmeal, crushed or panko bread crumbs
Oil for spraying
Air Fryer for cooking
Dipping sauce
Method:
1. Crumble pressed and drained tofu in a large bowl.
2. Mix the remaining ingredients, except oil with tofu. Mix well until combined. You should be able to scoop mixture and roll into a ball without crumbling.
3. Make the balls. Spray or brush with olive oil.
4. Place the tofu balls in the air fryer basket, and cook for 20- 25 minutes at 380 F, until golden brown. Flip half way.
5. Remove tofu balls from air fryer and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes:
I used golden carrots in this recipe.
If you feel that the mixture is a little moist, add some flour to make it non sticky.
You can also bake the meat balls in the oven at 375 F until golden brown.
