Zubereitung
This recipe requires a food processor / blender.
For the tofu balls:
1. Preheat oven to 180 °C upper/lower heat.
2. Combine the ground flaxseed with 5 tbsp of water and set aside. Let soak for 5–10 minutes.
3. Finely grate the ginger and press the garlic.
4. Put the tofu, 2/3 of the beans, the flaxseed, breadcrumbs, Seitan Fix, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, miso paste, liquid smoke and salt in a food processor and purée.
5. Add the remaining beans and roughly purée.
6. Then form into 28 balls about the size of golf balls and place them on a baking tray lined with baking parchment. Brush with peanut oil and bake for 30 minutes on the middle oven rack. Turn halfway through baking.
For the teriyaki sauce:
1. Mix the starch with 4 tbsp of water and set aside.
2. Finely grate the garlic and ginger. Combine with 250 ml of water, soy sauce, rice syrup, sesame oil and sriracha and bring to a boil. Stir in the starch and water blend and simmer at low to medium heat for 5 minutes. Stir frequently.
3. Add the tofu balls to the sauce and let simmer for 3 minutes.
Additionally:
1. Dry roast the sesame seeds in a hot frying pan for 2–3 minutes until fragrant. Give the pan a swirl occasionally. Chop the spring onion greens into thin rings.
2. Sprinkle the sesame seeds and spring onion greens over the tofu balls and serve, for example with Japanese short-grain rice and a favorite green vegetable such as cucumbers or edamame.
