Notes:

  • If you can’t form nice “meatballs” your soy is probably too wet. Add some more bread crumbs to it, and it should be fine.
  • For the vegan version of the recipe, skip the egg and add some more bread crumbs.
  • The amount of sugar you add will vary slightly depending on how sour your tomatoes are. Add more sugar if necessary.
