Melty Cheesy Tofu Burgers

It's been 6 years since I stopped eating meat. Most of my protein intake comes from tofu. Tofu can be eaten in many different ways, and you can even make pseudo-hamburgers with tofu.

At Step 6, when you are forming the patties try to cover the cheese completely so that it's not poking out to the surface; that way the burgers will fry up easily.

You can use a cheese other than mozzarella. Any cheese is ok as long as it's the melting kind. Recipe by enzo_lorenzo

  1. 1clock Tofu
  2. 10leaves Shiso leaves
  3. 80 gramsMozzarella cheese
  4. 1 canCanned tuna

  6. 1 1/2 cupPanko
  7. 5 tbspSoy sauce
  8. 10 gramsButter
  9. 1/2Lemon

  11. 1Cooking oil

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut up the tofu and drain away the excess water.

  2. 2

    Finely julienne the shiso leaves, and put into a medium sized bowl.

  3. 3

    Cut the mozzarella cheese into 1 cm cubes, and put into the bowl with the shiso leaves.

  4. 4

    Add the drained tofu, canned tuna and sesame seeds to the bowl, and season lightly with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Mix the contents of the bowl together well with your hands, and adjust the texture by adding panko. The amount you put in depends on how well you drained the tofu; just add enough to be able to form the mixture into patties.

  6. 6

    Spread a little oil around the bottom of a frying pan, and warm up over medium heat. In the meantime, divide the mixture from Step 5 into 5 equal portions and form into round patties. When the frying pan is hot put in the tofu burgers and fry until golden brown on both sides.

  7. 7

    When the tofu burgers are done, remove from the pan and add the soy sauce. When it's boiling turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Add the butter and mix until the butter is melted.

  8. 8

    When the butter has completely melted the sauce is done. Pour over the burgers, and eat while piping hot!
