You can make healthy Chicken Balls even healthier by mixing Tofu with Chicken Mince. These ‘Tofu & Chicken Balls’ are best cooked in the boiling Stock, so that you would need no Oil at all. I often cook them in a soup and add some Noodles to it. It can be a very filling meal, but it is very low in calories. Make a lot and freeze leftovers.
