Process tofu and water in blender (or processor) until smooth.
Add to bowl with other ingredients and stir until mixture holds firmly together.
Shape into 1.
5 inch balls.
Heat a little bit of olive oil in a non-stick skillet and skillet fry balls until reaching the desired level of brownness on all sides.
Adding more oil if needed.
Remove to brown bags or newspaper covered paper towels.
Place in a baking sheet and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until done in the middle.
