Thanks, Sherry. I was prowling through my recipe database, looking for something Chinese, and found the following recipe. It looks like these are a world-wide kind of thing! Chinese Sweet & Sour Balls Servings: 4 Tofu and Soyfoods Cookery - Peter Golbitz 1 tablespoon peanut butter 1 tablespoon tamari soy sauce 1 pound firm tofu 1/2 cup whole wheat flour 1/2 cup finely chopped green peppers 1/4 cup sliced fresh mushrooms 1/4 cup sliced fresh water chestnuts or celery 4 green onions, thinly sliced SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE: 1 cup unsweetened pineapple juice 6 tablespoons sweetener of your choice 6 tablespoons apple cider vinegar 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce 1 1/2 tablespoons arrowroot or cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder Preheat the oven to 350F. Whip together the peanut butter and tamari. Mash the tofu in a bowl, and mix in the flour, peanut butter mixture, green pepper, mushrooms, water chestnuts, and green onions. Form into sixteen 1 1/2-inch balls, and arrange in an 8 x 8-inch pan spread with 1 tablespoon oil. Bake 20 mimutes, then carefully turn each one over, and bake 20 minutes more. Serve on rice with Sweet and Sour Sauce. Sweet and Sour Sauce - Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan, whisking out all lumps. Bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
