When I was going to school in Santa Fe New Mexico in the early seventies a good friend of mine would have this for lunch. His wife used to make this. It was love at first sight.

  • 1 firm block tofu
  • 1/16 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium egg
  • 1/2 cup shelled edamame
  • 1/4 cup grated carrot
  • 1 tablespoon Seeds, sunflower seed kernels, dry roasted, without salt
  • 1 teaspoon  5 star anise
  • 1/4 teaspoon tamari
 

Recipe

Combine all ingredients except for carrot and edamame in food processor.
Blend well. Add carrots and edamame. If mixture does not form into balls easy add more flour.
In cast iron pan heat up oil. With your hands form medium balls. When oil is hot enough add the tofu balls. Cook until they are golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Serve with tamari and pickled ginger on side.
