Meatballs for me growing up looked like these. These are Bola-Bola or Filipino Meatballs (vegan, of course!) and these were easily one of my favourite food growing up in a Filipino-Chinese household. I’m not sure if it was just me but as a kid, I loved anything fried. Maybe it was because of that crisp exterior to fried foods and the dipping sauces that went with them, but I just really loved them. My personal favourite dipping sauces to have with bola-bola growing up is Mang Tomas liver spread, ketchup (tomato or banana!), and sweet chili sauce. This vegan recipe only needs 8 simple ingredients and uses a mix of tofu and plant-based ground/mince to recreate that meaty texture of meatballs. These are also gluten-free!
