Description
Almond crispy tofu balls, which is a Chinese American restaurant staple, consists of crispy battered tofu topped with a mild brown sauce, and sprinkled with almonds and scallions. It’s tender on the inside, crispy on the outside, tangy and delicious.
Vegan Almond “Chicken” (Almond Tofu Balls) is a plant-based twist on a classic almond chicken dish. These flavorful tofu balls combine almond flour and spices to create a crispy exterior with a tender, savory inside, making for a great protein-packed alternative.
