    I kinda freehand them everytime. But I first take an onion, chop it finely and fry it up a bit. Then I put in together with this cheap dried soy mince which I slightly hydrate and marinate in soy sauce, liquid smoke and a huge amount of different spices (cumin, cloves, herbs, nutmeg, etc, I forget all of it). I mix it with my hands thoroughmy, and also put a spoon of potato starch to make it hold together better, then make the balls and fry them.

    I usually cook without oil, but these things need a little oil in the pan to be best

    • Oh great, I’ve just been buying the ready made vegan "meat"balls like the Ikea ones or Hälsans kök to make this classic favourite, never thought to make them myself from the dark soy granules. Do you let the mass sit/hydrate for long?

      Looks like you even have the lingonberry jam there. Comfort food heaven!
