Background

I love these tofu and carrot fritters because they can be served as snacks with chilli sauce; or served with a salad for a light, healthy lunch; or served in a burger bun for vegans/vegetarians at a get-together. For a healthier version, bake them in the oven, brushed with a drop of oil.

Ingredients

1 medium carrot
1 bunch of spring onions
1 clove of garlic
3 cm ginger, peeled
350g firm tofu
2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

Drain the tofu and pat-dry well with paper towels, then crumble it into a mixing bowl, using your fingers.
Thinly slice the spring onions, then add to the tofu. Grate the carrot and ginger, add to the tofu. Add the garlic and eggs, then combine well.
Form balls, then patties from the mixture, and put them on a plate. Rest/chill until you’re ready to cook.
Mix the oil and heat half of this in a non-stick frying pan. Add the patties and cook for a couple of minutes on each side until golden. Transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
