Yes! I had about a half cup of adzuki beans leftover and didn’t know what to do with them. I made these today, and they made my kitchen smell fantastic! I threw them on top of my spaghetti dish and they tasted amazing! Definitely making again. I don’t have a non a, but if I did, she’d be jealous…

In reply to Ashley. Hi to you too:) The pecans thicken the mass, and of course add their flavor. Never tried it with cashews, I think it'll work fine. If you have walnuts, and if walnuts are safe for your son, I would use that. I used walnuts before with this recipes and it was great

Hi! Just came across Thai recipe and want to try this week, but my son has an allergy to pecans. What purpose do they serve? Could I omit or perhaps replace with cashews? (I have those on hand). Thanks!

Delicious even as a salad accompaniment or a power snack between meals

Delicious!I’ve tried so many bean “meat”balls and my son has hated them all – but even my non vegetarian ate these! They did fall apart in the sauce – so I renamed it bolognese 🙂 as we’re not vegan will prob add an egg next time. But flavour and texture fantastic!!

I really like this recipe! I did make a few adjustments. I added about 1/4 cup of almond flour to the mixture before forming into balls, which helped them be a bit less sticky. I also air fried them for about 4 minutes per side after baking! Gave them a nice crunchy exterior before I added them to the sauce. Really yummy!

This was very successful. Tastes yummy but the patties are a bit mushy. Maybe I over-cooked the beans? Is there some way to make the “meat” mixture more firm?

I loved these! They were so flavourful and they worked out beautifully. Will definitely be making them again.

These were so delicious!! Mine turned out a bit soft and kinda fell apart through the sauce when serving/eating BUT it actually worked. (It was probably my overcooked beans and ingredient swaps, though! Next time I might try adding a little more oats.) My kids loved them, and smooshed them happily – it felt like you were eating mince through the sauce. I did alter the recipe slightly as I didn’t have carrot on hand, so I used 2 large cup mushrooms. And 1 Tbs dried basil instead of fresh. I also added a sprinkle of onion powder and garlic powder for extra flavour. And used a bolognaise sauce jar and Passata as didn’t have canned tomatoes and was delicious. Will probably keep using mushrooms as the flavour turned out so well. I will also try a binder like flaxmeal or chia to help keep in shape. Thanks for the great recipe I’ll be using it again for sure!!

In reply to Donna. they should be completely cooked, so pretty soft. make sure not to add salt while cooking it.

How firm should the beans be at the end of cooking?

Very tasty and glad I found your recipe as an alternative to soya! Works well with spaghetti

You may wish to correct the cooking time – 5hrs? Think there’s a typo.
