Instructions
MAKING OF BALLS
- First crumble tofu.
- Mash it with the heel of the palm so that there remains no lumps in tofu.
- Once tofu turns smooth, add oats flour, cornflour, salt, black pepper powder and red chilli flakes.
- Mix them so well.
- Now take a very small portion of mixture and by pressing it, make a smooth, crack free ball.
- Make balls with the entire mixture and keep aside.
- Now take water in a pan and put on heat.
- When water begins to boil, drop tofu balls but one by one.
- Initially they will sink to the base of the pan.
- In couple of minutes, they will start floating on the surface of the water.
- Once they begin to float, let them boil just for 2 minutes.
- Thereafter remove the balls out of water. Keep aside.
MAKING OF SAUCE
- Heat oil in a pan and add garlic and spring onion white.
- Saute until onion turns slightly brown.
- Add soy sauce, green or red chilli sauce and vinegar. Mix.
- Add salt. Mix. Keep in mind tofu balls and soy sauce are already having salt.
- Add Tofu balls and gently mix them. Be careful not to break.
- Then add spring onion greens and just mix.
- Lastly add white sesame seeds.
- Enjoy.

Notes
- Cracked balls may split in water and same happened to us as well with 2-3 balls. So it is necessary to make crack free balls.
- Oats flour is nothing but just the powered oats.
- Leftover water in which tofu balls are boiled, is not a waste. Use it for cooking rice, making lentils, kneading a dough or any way you like.
