These delicious meatball alternatives are great with pasta and tomato sauce. They are gluten-free and sugar-free and appropriate for the 21 day Quantum Wellness Cleanse. They are a bit fragile so be careful when removing them from the pan. This recipe is only slightly adapted from the Post Punk Kitchen website.

300 g tofu, extra-firm
1 small onion, chopped fine

rice flour, to roll the balls in
oil, to fry the balls in

Steps:
