Out of all of the vegan meatballs I’ve made, these are by far my favorite. A lot of the other versions I’ve tried never stick together and I don’t love the consistency. But these babies pass the test . . . they stay so firm! They’re so versatile too, just pair them with whatever sauce you’re cooking with and you’re good to go. So far I’ve only made these with udon/soba noodles, Thai Almond Butter Sauce, & greens, but I think these tofu meatballs would be great in a classic spaghetti/meatballs dish, served as an appetizer, or in a meatball sandwich. Enjoy these! *And again, I usually double this recipe and freeze the leftovers or throw them on top of my salads for the week*
