Dancer! Vegetarian Baked Golden Tofu Dumplings With Spicy Dip

[Guest guest]

oh my goodness, i made this last night and it was SOOOOOO good! i do

however have a few suggestions for improvements.

instead of spending a year rolling these into balls, which seemed to pop and

explode in the oven, i put some of them into muffin lightly oiled muffin

pans, and baked, cooled, and popped them out. they were so good! also, i

think this would work well in a loaf pan, cut into slices and pan fry on

each side till lightly browned.

i served it on a bed of 7 wild and brown rices topped with a chiffanade of

braised kale with garlic and ginger, and then topped it with a muffin panned

tofu dumpling, and then drizzled the sauce over the top which gave it a

glazed look. i then garnished it with a sprinkling of gamasio, which hit

the spot. everyone had seconds, some thirds! try it!
