Method

PREPARATION
Tofu: After removing the tofu from its package, rinse it and then remove the water. To press, sandwich the tofu between multiple layers of paper towels, then between two plates.
. Weigh the top plate down with something heavy. Then, drain the liquid about every 30 minutes.
After the tofu has been drained. Mash them right in the bowl, with a potato masher or a fork. You can also crumble it into the bowl with your hands.
Taro: Wear gloves or oil your hands when preparing taro. Remove taro’s thick slightly hairy peel with a knife under running water to avoid the stickiness.
To prevent discoloration, place peeled and diced chunks of taro in acidulated water. Next, blanch taro in boiling water for 5 minutes. When taro has been cooking, it will turn from bright white to cream to a dappled grayish-purple.
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Make the Corn Meatballs
In a large mixing bowl, combine the steamed taro and smashed tofu, 30 grams of cornstarch, 30 grams of corn kernels, and a pinch of salt, and stir well to combine the flavors. Following that, you roll them into equal-sized meatballs with your hands.
Then, using a coating of cornstarch, coat the meatballs for the corn kernels to stick easily.
Steam the corn meatballs for about 15 minutes, or until cooked, then cool and transfer to a platter.
Step 2: Make the Sauce
Sauté vegetable oil and chopped garlic in a pan over high heat until fragrant. Add 50ml water, 5 tablespoons soy sauce, and 3 teaspoons chili sauce.
Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, then pour it over the corn meatballs. Enjoy!

Notes:

Simply follow the easy steps described by Anchay.vn and Food Blogger Duong Yen Nhi (Accnhi) to create delicious and nutritious Vegan Corn Meatballs. Due to the taro in this delectable recipe, it is very flexible and delicious, giving a distinct flavor to your meal.

While processing taro, it should be steamed or cooked until very soft, allowing the corn meatballs to firm up and include a little bit of potato starch, which enhances the meal's flavor.
