    When tofu turns into a meatball – umami explosion guaranteed

    Tofu boring? No way! These meatless meatballs prove that crumbled natural tofu can be a true taste sensation. The secret lies in the seasoning: Fresh ginger, coriander, and mint add freshness, while tomato paste and onions provide the savory base. The whole thing is bound with chickpea flour, creating perfectly moldable balls that are golden brown on the outside and moist on the inside. The sweet and sour glaze made with tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, and ketchup will delight every taste bud. A particularly practical feature: The balls can be frozen for up to 3 months after baking – perfect for meal prep! Whether served with rice, noodles, or in a sandwich, these tofu balls turn any meal into a feast. 🍽️
