• Add seasonings and mix until combined.
• Drain tofu and crumble with hands into the meatball mixture, mix.
• Add soy sauce and mix until all ingredients are incorporated.
• With clean hands, roll about a tablespoon's worth of mixture into a ball. If it is too dry to stick together, up to 1/2 cup water can be added. (I don't ever have to add water.).

• Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes (depending on size), until nicely browned.

• (These work well as appetizers, or as part of a main dish with barbecue sauce, brown gravy, vegan stroganoff sauce, or Asian sauces.).
