  3. Stir 5 tablespoons water and flaxseed meal together in a separate bowl. Let \"egg\" stand until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add soy milk, mix well. Stir into the flour mixture until batter is well combined.

Recipe Note

Vegan Chinese-style “chicken” balls. They taste better than the real thing. If you enjoy eating chicken, you can use the batter with precooked chicken. Serve with your favorite sweet-and-sour sauce.
