Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 ounces Firm tofu
- 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Sliced tomato
- 4 slices Sliced red onion
Instructions
Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for 15 minutes.
Crumble the pressed tofu into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork.
Finely chop the green onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add them to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.
Add the breadcrumbs, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the bowl, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture that can be shaped into patties.
Shape the tofu mixture into 4 equal-sized burger patties.
Heat the cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tofu patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over the patties. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes, turning the patties to coat them evenly.
Lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.
Assemble the burgers by layering lettuce, a tofu patty, sliced tomato, and red onion on the bottom half of each bun. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
