Fried Vegeterian Balls 素丸子

They look like fried meat balls, but they are made from Tofu and carrots...crispy and tasty...rich in Vitamin A and protein.

Simple ingredients:
  • 1 block firm Tofu, drained
  • 2 medium size carrot, shredded
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 eggs
  • 2 Tbsp. soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 tsp. of Chicken Bouillon Powder
  • Salt and ground pepper to your taste
Optional: green onion, chives, Chinese parsley, ginger, garlic, etc. can be added for extra flavor.
  • Cooking oil for fry
Easy to make:
  1. In a medium mixing bowl, mash the Tofu with hands, add other ingredients above (except cooking oil). Mix with a fork until all ingredients well blend together.
  2. Heat cooking oil on high heat until boiling hot. Use a small cookie scoop, scoop and drop the batter into the hot oil. Cook them until the balls float up to the surface and turn golden brown.
  3. Serve with your favorite dipping sauces, such as sweet & sour, BBQ, honey mustard, ranch, etc.
Caution: Stay in the kitchen while cooking. Don't leave the hot cooking oil unattended. Be safe.
