Steps

30 mins

1

Drain tofu by wrapping in paper towels and letting sit for a while to allow the paper to absorb the water from the tofu. Or you can dry the tofu by putting them into a microwave for about 3 minutes.
2

Rehydrate the hijiki by putting the dried hijiki into a bowl filled with plenty of water. Let soak for at least 30 min. Once soft, chop it up.
3

Put all ingredients into a bowl. Then mix them well until the texture becomes sticky. Roll up the mixture into golf sized balls, pushing in the centre of ball a bit with your finger.
4

Put olive oil into a pan. Fry the burgers on a low to medium heat with lid on. When one side has cooked well, turn over and fry with medium heat.
5

Note: you can eat with Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce if you wish.
