How To Make Vegan Matzo Balls
This vegan matzo balls recipe is super easy to make & only takes 10 mins or less to make!
To start making your matzo balls, combine the matzo meal, salt, pepper and herbs in a medium-sized bowl and whisk until combined. Set aside.
Next, take another bowl, and add 1/2 cup potato starch and 6-12 tbsp of plain water together until you get a thick, starchy goop. Then add 4 tbsp coconut oil and 1 cup seltzer water and gently mix until combined. Then add your matzo meal and seasonings mixture, and mix until it all comes together.
TIP: This matzo ball mixture should not be sticky. If it’s too dry, add a spritz more of the seltzer, and if it’s too wet, add a little more matzo meal. You should be able to mix it with your hands without having it stick to all your fingers.
All you have to do next is cover the bowl and refrigerate until you want to form the dough into balls for your soup or other recipes! I usually refrigerate for an hour and then form the dough into matzo balls and add them to my hot soup broth to make matzo ball soup!

I was so excited when i tried this recipe and the matzo balls didn’t disintegrate in the soup. The centre was a bit gummy. What did I do wrong?
