Tofu Burger Recipes

TOFU BURGER

Steps:

• Put the tofu on to press for 20 minutes. Either use a tofu press or place the tofu on a plate with another plate on top of it and then place something heavy on top like a heavy pot.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• When pressed, cut the tofu into four square burgers.
• Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Place the tofu burgers evenly on the parchment paper and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, turning the tofu over after 15 minutes.
• Mix up the marinade sauce by adding soy sauce, maple syrup, peanut butter and garlic powder to a bowl and whisking together.
• When the burgers have finished baking, brush marinade sauce generously onto both sides of the burgers and leave them to marinate for 5 minutes.
• Heat up a pan with a little oil and when hot, add the tofu burgers to the pan and fry on each side until golden.
• Brush on more marinade sauce while the tofu is frying. The tofu burgers are ready to serve.
• Mushroom sauce: Add sliced mushrooms and soy sauce to a skillet, cover with a lid and turn the heat to medium high.
• When the mushrooms have released their water and are bubbling away remove the lid and let the excess water cook off.
• When the water is mostly evaporated, pour in the coconut cream and bring to a simmer.
• Make a cornstarch slurry by mixing the cornstarch with a little coconut cream or water until smooth.
• Pour it into the sauce and mix it in. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens.
• Prepare your hamburger buns, adding lettuce, sliced tomato and pickles.
• Add the tofu burger, top it with mushroom sauce and serve.

PATTY'S TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Mix in the tofu, celery, onion, chili powder, cumin, curry paste, garlic, and oats with your hands until the tofu has broken into fine pieces, and the mixture is evenly blended. Form into 8 patties.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties until crispy and golden brown on each side, about 5 minutes per side.

TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Place tofu in freezer 72 hours ahead of time. To thaw, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Leave tofu in package and place in water for about 20 minutes.
• While tofu is thawing, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet. Saute onion and celery until soft and lightly browned. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
• When tofu is thawed, squeeze out excess water. Chop tofu finely and place in bowl with onion and celery. Mix in egg, cheese, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (oil should be 1/4 inch deep). Drop tofu mixture into pan in 6 equal portions. Flatten with a spatula to form patties. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden.

TOFU BURGER

Steps:

• If using sprouted tofu, remove from the package and dry with a paper towel (pressing is not necessary)
• If using extra-firm tofu, press according to directions.
• Then, cut the tofu in half horizontally, creating two large equal pieces.
• Using a burger press or a cookie cutter, cut tofu into two identical circles, discarding any tofu scraps.
• Set aside while making the marinade.
• Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a refrigerator, a safe container.
• Place the two tofu burgers in the marinade and refrigerate overnight. When possible, move the container gently so the tofu absorbs all the marinade.
