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 (I used rice 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.

 

I just love this recipe...Enjoy! Valerie
