Instructions
Step 1
Pre heat your oven to 180 degrees C.
Step 2
First up make the meatballs, add the tofu to a large mixing bowl and mash it using a masher until its broken up small, alternatively crumble it into small pieces with your hands.
Step 3
Add the rest of the meatball ingredients to the bowl and mix until well incorporated.
Step 4
Now it’s time to form the mix into meatballs. Lightly flour your hands and then roll a heaped tablespoon of the mixture into meatball. Repeat until you’ve rolled all the mix into balls.
Step 5
Add a little oil to a non stick pan placed over a medium heat. When the pan is hot fry the meatballs for around 3 minutes, or until golden. Place the balls onto a non stick or lined roasting tray after frying, then place into the oven to cook through for 15 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile mix together the dressing ingredients in a small saucepan & place over a low heat to bubble away & thicken up. Prepare your noodles & garnishes.
Step 7
Once the meatballs are roasted serve them with your noodles, greens, other garnishes & plenty of sauce.
