Woah.. sorry for not posting on my blog lately but I was crazy busy, the ones who follow me on Instagram might have seen a bit more of me but still... so sorry for not posting any recipes lately! I hope I can make it up with you by posting this NEW recipe! I just made myself these super delicious and healthy Raw Tofu Balls.. After making lot's of my sweet coconut balls which I by the way love to eat while I'm sipping on my black coffee or as a snack in between, I thought why not make savoury balls?! My lovely pretty mom actually inspired me once again to come up with this recipe cause we used to eat raw tofu while she was prepping dinner, I often was already feeling hungry so she just dipped a slice of fresh tofu in some soy sauce to eat just like that and I LOVED that!! I know.. crazy.. I think that's more for the advanced tofu eaters.. but hey.. I'm Asian ;D These balls are really made in less then 10 minutes, really??!? YES REALLY! Scroll down for this easy peasy recipe! Ingredients for 2 hungry bitches: - 1/2 fresh Tofu (you can only find fresh tofu at an Asian supermarket) - 1/2 a lime juice - 1 spoon of Soy sauce - 1 spoon of Japanese Mirin - 1 teaspoon of sesame-oil - a mix of black and white sesame seeds (I used black Smoked & white Garlic flavoured sesame seeds) - a pinch of himalayan sea salt (you can use regular salt too) Extra Dressing/Dipping Sauce: - 1/2 a lime juice - 1 spoon of Soy sauce - 1 spoon of Sesame-oil - Finely chopped red peppers (cause I always like it 'hot') - sprinkle some sesame seeds some sesame seeds * Use a paper towel to get rid of the access water of the tofu ![]() What's next?! Mash the tofu using a fork or your hand :D and add the rest of the ingredients except for the sesameseeds, make sure that everything is mixed well and make small balls using your hands, the structure is a bit weird I know, but be gently and firm at the same time.. treat them like... you would treat balls.. HAHA just had to say that.. but seriously.. be gentle but not to gentle ;) Roll the tofu ball gently into the sesame seeds and TADAAA.. there you have it.. your gorgeous delicious tofu balls! MMMmm I served the tofu balls on top of a simple green leafed salad with some fresh slices of Avocado and drizzled the extra sauce on top of it all.. I love it when an idea in my head turns out so tasty! Hope you like it and try it out too! Let me know what you think of this new recipe as I'm curious :D
Have a great evening! xoxo The Cookteaser p.s. you can't eat these ball with chopsticks or a fork as their to soft for it and will fall apart easily this way, I recommend using a spoon eating these balls ;D
