TOFU BURGERS



Tofu Burgers image

This recipe uses tofu that has been frozen for 72 hours and then quickly defrosted. Onion, celery and cheese make these burgers delicious. This is a family favorite at the Silverwolfs' den. Serve in place of meat as a main entree or place on a bun along with your favorite toppings: lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, etc. These burgers can also be baked in an oven preheated at 350 degrees for 30 minutes rather than frying.

Tofu burgers are so easy to make and simply fabulous. Marinated in my favorite burger marinade, tofu burgers are so tasty; they may be your favorite veggie burger-top with my secret sauce or BBQ coleslaw, or top with your favorite toppings.

Categories     Entrees

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces sprouted or extra-firm tofu (extra-firm tofu must be pressed, cut in half horizontally)
4 Tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
1 Tablespoon stone-ground mustard
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (1 Used hickory flavor)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 Tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)

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.

One more from "The Whole Soy Cookbook". As there are no binding ingredients, these may fall apart easily. For this reason, using the food processor for quick, thorough mixing is recommended.

THE BEST TOFU BURGER



The Best Tofu Burger image

I really think I nailed this finally after years of mediocre veggie burgers, My youngest son (although I wouldn't say he had refined taste buds) declared these as good as meat burgers and that's what he usually eats. Fairly firm, good texture, great taste. Freezing the tofu is the key. Please do let me know what you think if you try them

Spinach, Tofu and Sesame Stir-Fry image

You can serve this simple stir-fry with grains or noodles, or (my preference) use it as a filling for a whole wheat pita pocket.

Categories     dinner, easy, quick, weekday, main course

Time 15m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 pound tofu, cut in small dice

1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
Soy sauce to taste
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Stir-fry until the tofu is lightly colored, three to five minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add soy sauce to taste. Add the spinach and stir-fry until the spinach wilts, about one minute. Stir in the sesame seeds, and add more soy sauce to taste. Remove from the heat.

Tips:

  • Use extra firm tofu: This will help the burgers hold their shape better.
  • Press the tofu well: This will remove excess water and make the burgers less crumbly.
  • Use a food processor to grind the tofu: This will help create a smooth and even texture.
  • Add plenty of seasonings: Tofu is a mild-flavored ingredient, so it's important to season the burgers well.
  • Don't overcook the burgers: They should be cooked until they are just heated through, otherwise they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the burgers on a bun with your favorite toppings: Some popular options include lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.
