Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Press the block of tofu to remove excess moisture by placing it on a plate lined with paper towels, covering with more paper towels, and placing a heavy object on top for 15-20 minutes.

  2. In a large mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu into small pieces with your hands.

  3. Add the breadcrumbs, grated carrots, chopped red bell pepper, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl.

  4. Mix all the ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should hold together when pressed into a patty. If too dry, add a little more soy sauce or a splash of water.

  5. Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

  7. While the tofu burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in the oven or on the skillet until warm and slightly crispy.

  8. Assemble the tofu burgers by placing a tofu patty on a bun and adding your favorite toppings such as lettuce, tomato, avocado, or condiments of your choice.

  9. Serve the tofu burgers hot and enjoy.
