Summary

These meat-free burgers are so simple and totally delicious for a great midweek meal – we devoured these juicy patties with broccoli and a green leafy salad, all dressed with toasted sesame and squeeze of lemon. Or add to a rice bowl or burger bun!

Adapted from Spiral Foods, we added egg and bread crumbs to bind the tofu (instead of chicken) and they excellent. Thanks Spiral, tofu burgers are now on high rotation.

Makes about a dozen.

Teriyaki Tofu Burgers

In a large bowl, combine the tofu, tamari, spring onions, ginger and corn starch, and mix well. Use your hands to break up the tofu, incorporating the eggs and bread crumbs. Form the mixture into balls and gently flatten in your palm.

Combine the teriyaki ingredients in a separate bowl, and set aside.

In a fry pan, heat the sesame oil and cook the patties until nicely browned. Once cooked, leave the pan on the heat and pour the teriyaki sauce over the patties. Heat until the sauce thickens. Serve warm.
