ingredients

30 ounces waterpacked tofu
2 tablespoons grated carrots
2 2 tablespoons leeks or 2 tablespoons gingerroot, diced
2 tablespoons diced mushrooms
2 tablespoons green peas, see note
2 2 tablespoons peanuts or 2 tablespoons chopped nuts
2 tablespoons roasted sesame seeds or 2 tablespoons poppy seeds, see note
2 tablespoons raisins
³⁄₄ teaspoon salt
oil

directions

Use the peas with Ganmo balls. Sesame and poppy seed may be ground or whole.
You squeeze this tofu as well as pressing. First press the tofu. Then place at center of large dry dishtowel and gather to form sack. Twist closed and squeeze tofu firmly. Knead it 2 to 3 minutes to expel as much water as possible. Squeeze lightly enough so that no tofu penetrates the sacke. Empty into bowl. This results in a mashed tofu that is slighly cohesive and resembles cottage cheese.
Combine first 8 ingredients in shallow bowl. Mix well. Knead for 3 minutes. Add salt and knead for 3 more minutes. Dough should be smooth and hold together.
Fill wok with 2 to 2 1/2 inches oil and heat to 300F Moisten palms owth oil and shape dough into 8 patties about 3 X 3 1/2 or 12 balls 1 1/2 inch.
Deep fry for 4 to 6 minutes or until they float high in oil. Turn over and deep fry patties a bit more until they are crisp and golden brown. Drain on rack or paper towels. Sprinkle with shoyu if desired.
Refrigerate in airtight container. Will keep 1 week. Frozen keeps indefinitely.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
