TOFU BURGERS
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.

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.

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
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

Steps:
- Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and add the tofu. 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.
- Using tongs, transfer the spinach and tofu mixture to a serving bowl, leaving the liquid behind in the pan or wok. Drizzle with the sesame oil, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with rice or other grains, or noodles. You may also use it as a filling for whole wheat pita bread.

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.
