Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Firm tofu
- 120 g Chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 180 ml Water
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 3 Green onions (chopped)
- 1 cup Carrots (shredded)
- 1 cup Mushrooms (finely chopped)
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 240 ml Vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tsp Maple syrup
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Cooking oil
Instructions
Drain the tofu and crumble it into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork.
Add chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, soy sauce, sesame oil, water, and salt to the bowl. Mix well until the batter has a thick, pancake-like consistency. Adjust water as needed.
Fold in the garlic, green onions, carrots, mushrooms, and bean sprouts. Stir until the vegetables are evenly distributed in the batter.
Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/3 cup of the batter into the skillet for each patty. Flatten it slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the pan as necessary.
To make the gravy, whisk cornstarch with vegetable broth in a small saucepan until dissolved.
Add soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup to the saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Serve the tofu patties warm, topped with the gravy. Garnish with additional green onions if desired.
