About Fried tofu balls

Fried Tofu Balls are a delicious and versatile dish originating from East Asian cuisine, often enjoyed as a snack, appetizer, or part of a meal. Made from mashed tofu mixed with flour, breadcrumbs, and seasonings like garlic, soy sauce, and green onions, the mixture is shaped into bite-sized balls and deep-fried to golden perfection. These protein-rich bites boast a crisp exterior and a soft, flavorful center, making them a satisfying plant-based option. Tofu provides essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, and a significant source of protein, making them a healthy choice for vegetarians and vegans. However, the frying process adds extra calories and saturated fats, which may reduce their health benefits compared to baked or steamed alternatives. Pairing them with fresh veggies or light dipping sauces can balance out the richness, turning these savory tofu balls into a more wholesome indulgence.
