Ingredients
Instructions
-
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.
-
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the pressed tofu into small pieces with your hands.
-
Add the breadcrumbs, grated carrots, chopped red bell pepper, green onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
-
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.
-
Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
-
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.
-
While the tofu burgers are cooking, toast the hamburger buns in the oven or on the skillet until warm and slightly crispy.
-
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.
-
Serve the tofu burgers hot and enjoy.
