Deep Fried Tofu Balls with a Lemon Tahini Sauce

You haven’t lived until you’ve tried these deep-fried tofu balls. They. Are. So. Good.

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Method

• In a pan warm the olive oil and sauté the garlic then add the spring onions or leek and carrot. Pop on the lid and cook for 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
• Pat the tofu dry with paper towel and mash with a fork in a bowl.  Add the vegetables from the pan and the remaining ingredients and form into balls, wetting your hands now and again to stop the mixture from sticking.
• In a heavy bottomed pan heat the sunflower oil, bring to correct temperature and deep fry the tofu balls.
• For the Lemon Tahini Sauce: Add the light miso, tahini, tamari, lemon juice and water into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. 
• Drain on paper towel and serve with the sauce drizzled over the top.
