Crisp Fried Tofu Balls

This second tofu dish that Tricia and I tried is extremely easy and we had lots of fun making them. We were like fish ball makers that day. This would not only make a quick and great snack especially for parties but also a good bonding session with your kids; a good exposure for your kids to experiment making/cooking simple dishes.
