Steps

1

Finely chop the onion and thoroughly drain the tofu. In a small bowl, mix together all the ☆ sauce ingredients.
2

To drain the tofu, wrap it in a paper towel and microwave for 2 minutes. Replace with a fresh paper towel and gently squeeze out excess water.
3

In a bowl, combine all ◯ ingredients and mix until sticky. Shape into patties of your preferred size.
4

Heat oil in a skillet. Sear both sides of the patties until browned, then cover and steam over low heat for about 5 minutes.
5

Check if the patties are fluffy and cooked through, then remove them from the skillet and set aside.
6

In the same skillet, add the ☆ sauce mixture. Once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat and return the patties to the pan. Simmer over low to medium heat, turning to coat, until the sauce thickens. Serve!
