Tofu Fritters

These fritters are delicious served with a hot and spicy sauce or with tomato ketchup. Another way to serve is to add them to a Thai green curry sauce which I had today, served with rice. Great combination, I would say.

 Ingredients:

2 cup cubed extra hard organic tofu
1 stem lemon grass, chopped roughly
1/4 cup green onion, chopped roughly
1 tsp ginger, chopped roughly
1 Thai red pepper, seeded and diced
1/2 cup carrot, grated or finely diced
6 asparagus, diced and cooked
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1/2 cup red onion, diced finely
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
1 tsp fish sauce (optional)
salt and pepper
panko bread crumbs
oil for frying

Method:

In a food processor, process the tofu, lemon grass, green onion, ginger, red pepper with a little salt until fine. You should be able to make in into a ball.

Remove the mixture into a bowl and add the carrot, asparagus, cilantro, red onion, jalapeno, fish sauce if using, black pepper and salt if needed. Combine well and form it into lime size balls.
Roll balls into panko bread crumbs.

Fry these tofu balls in medium hot oil until golden brown. Drain in paper towel and serve with your favorite hot and sweet sauce or add them to a curry base.
