Vegan Tofu Balls Food

VEGAN TOFU MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat oven 350 degrees F. Grease baking sheet or parchment lined baking sheet and set aside. Make breadcrumbs by blending 1-inch pieces of bread in a blender or food processor, scoop breadcrumbs into a large mixing bowl. Stir in walnut, sage, oregano, and basil.
• In a food processor or blender, place tofu, liquid amino's, nutritional yeast flakes, tapioca starch, onion powder, garlic, and sea salt and process.
• Pour blended mixture into the bowl with seasoned breadcrumbs and mix well. Form into balls and bake for 30 minutes turning meatballs after 15 minutes. Transfer tofu meatballs to a serving dish and spoon sweet and sour sauce over the tofu meatballs and serve.
• In a medium saucepan add pineapple juice, tomato sauce, sugar, tapioca starch, onion, garlic and sea salt, whisk.
• Heat sauce over medium-high heat until it comes to a boil. Whisking constantly, reduce heat and simmer until sauce thickens.

VEGAN TOFU BALLS

Steps:

• 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.
• Roll the tofu balls in the rice flour and then fry until golden brown all over - about 5 minutes.

TOFU WALNUT "MEATBALLS" (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add seasonings and mix until combined.
• Drain tofu and crumble with hands into the meatball mixture, mix.
• Add soy sauce and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
• With clean hands, roll about a tablespoon's worth of mixture into a ball. If it is too dry to stick together, up to 1/2 cup water can be added. (I don't ever have to add water.).
• Continue to roll mixture into balls, and place onto a greased baking sheet, an inch or two apart. I use a cookie dough scoop to get mine a uniform size.
• Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (depending on size), until nicely browned.
• Cool and transfer to container or bag for freezing, or serve hot as desired.
• (These work well as appetizers, or as part of a main dish with barbecue sauce, brown gravy, vegan stroganoff sauce, or Asian sauces.).
