Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Start by mashing the potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Crumble the tofu finely and add it to the bowl with the mashed potatoes. Pour in the soy sauce and finely chop the fresh coriander, then add them to the mixture. Gently fold everything together until well combined. |
| 2 | Once the mixture is thoroughly mixed, shape it into small balls using your hands. If the mixture feels too wet and sticky, you can add a little cornflour to help bind it together. |
| 3 | In a separate shallow dish, combine an even mixture of sesame seeds and flour. Roll each ball in the sesame seed-flour mixture until evenly coated, ensuring they are fully covered. |
| 4 | Heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated balls into the hot oil and fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. |
| 5 | Once cooked to perfection, remove the balls from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve the Tofu Coriander Balls hot and crispy alongside your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the delicious flavors with every bite! |
