Gimme, gimme!
That cucumber salad looks great
Ooh, I've been trying to find something that I can cook in my air fryer that won't just fall apart, soy balls might be perfect!
Got a recipe for the soy balls?
I kinda freehand them everytime. But I first take an onion, chop it finely and fry it up a bit. Then I put in together with this cheap dried soy mince which I slightly hydrate and marinate in soy sauce, liquid smoke and a huge amount of different spices (cumin, cloves, herbs, nutmeg, etc, I forget all of it). I mix it with my hands thoroughmy, and also put a spoon of potato starch to make it hold together better, then make the balls and fry them.
I usually cook without oil, but these things need a little oil in the pan to be best
Oh great, I've just been buying the ready made vegan "meat"balls like the Ikea ones or Hälsans kök to make this classic favourite, never thought to make them myself from the dark soy granules. Do you let the mass sit/hydrate for long?
Looks like you even have the lingonberry jam there. Comfort food heaven!
No, I just put a little water and the "marinade" (soy, liquid smoke and spices) in the dry granulate then knead it vigorously until the liquids are absorbed and it has the consistency of wet dough. The granulate is one of the cheaper kinds, ordered it online but don't remember exactly where.
Thank you! Will definitely make these.
