Description

These tofu burger patties are moist on the inside and crispy on the outside and seasoned with a simple Japanese style seasoning sauce.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 block extra firm tofu (about 10 ounces)
  • 2 teaspoons miso paste
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons mirin
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 dried shiitake mushrooms, rehydrated and finely chopped
  • 2 ounces onion, minced
  • 2 teaspoons potato starch or cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or other neutral oil

Instructions

  1. Drain the tofu well: Wrap the tofu in paper towels and leave it on a plate for 15 minutes.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: Mix the miso paste, soy sauce, and mirin in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Mash the tofu: Unwrap the tofu and place it in a mixing bowl, and use your hands to mash the tofu.
  4. Add the breadcrumbs: Add the breadcrumbs and mix well.
  5. Add the veggies and sauce: Add the chopped onion, mushrooms and add the sauce. Mix well using your hands.
  6. Make the patties: Keep mixing until the mixture clumps into one big ball – this might take a little while – and cut it into 4 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a patty and place them on a plate.
  7. Dust with potato starch: In a separate plate, add the potato starch. Dip each tofu patty in the potato starch until all four patties are evenly coated.
  8. Heat the skillet: Place a large skillet over high heat and when the skillet is hot, add the oil. Swirl the oil around to coat the surface evenly.
  9. Cook the patties: Add the tofu patties and cook on each side for about 3 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  10. Serve: Turn the heat off and transfer them to a plate. Serve with dipping sauce or use them as burger patties.

Notes

Take your time making the patties. It may take a couple of minutes of mixing the ingredients together by hand before it’s sticky enough to be shaped into patties.
