Ingredients

  • 1 block tempeh
  • 1 stick celery
  • 1 small carrot
  • 1/4 c. mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce (or to taste)
  • 2 c. cooked brown rice
  • 1 tbsp. mayonnaise or Vegannaise
  • 1/2 c. Toasted sesame seeds

Method

  • Cut tempeh into chunks and steam for about 30 minutes.
  • You can do this in a vegetable steamer or you can simmer in a little water with a pinch of sea salt.
  • Mash the tempeh and add the remaining ingredients.
  • When the rice has cooled enough to handle, mix in the mayonnaise or Vegannaise this will help it bind.
  • Wet your hands, so the rice doesn't stick, and make little walnut-sized balls with the rice.
  • Make an indentation in the middle and fill with about a teaspoon of the tempeh mixture, then roll it in your hands so the filling is encased in the rice.
  • Roll the filled balls in the toasted sesame seeds.
  • If your children are used to stronger flavors, you can serve with a little dipping broth made from soy sauce mixed with equal parts water and some chopped scallions.
