Instructions
Step 1

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.

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.

Meanwhile mix together the dressing ingredients in a small saucepan & place over a low heat to bubble away & thicken up. Prepare your noodles & garnishes.

Once the meatballs are roasted serve them with your noodles, greens, other garnishes & plenty of sauce.
