Tofu burgers are so easy to make and simply fabulous. Marinated in my favorite burger marinade, tofu burgers are so tasty; they may be your favorite veggie burger-top with my secret sauce or BBQ coleslaw, or top with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

14 ounces sprouted or extra-firm tofu (extra-firm tofu must be pressed, cut in half horizontally)
4 Tablespoons soy sauce or Tamari
1 Tablespoon stone-ground mustard
2 teaspoons liquid smoke (1 Used hickory flavor)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
2 Tablespoons vegan Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Sriracha (optional)

Steps:

If using sprouted tofu, remove from the package and dry with a paper towel (pressing is not necessary)
If using extra-firm tofu, press according to directions.
Then, cut the tofu in half horizontally, creating two large equal pieces.
Using a burger press or a cookie cutter, cut tofu into two identical circles, discarding any tofu scraps.
Set aside while making the marinade.
Whisk all marinade ingredients together in a refrigerator, a safe container.
Place the two tofu burgers in the marinade and refrigerate overnight. When possible, move the container gently so the tofu absorbs all the marinade.

TOFU BURGERS

Tofu Burgers image

This recipe uses tofu that has been frozen for 72 hours and then quickly defrosted. Onion, celery and cheese make these burgers delicious. This is a family favorite at the Silverwolfs' den. Serve in place of meat as a main entree or place on a bun along with your favorite toppings: lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, etc. These burgers can also be baked in an oven preheated at 350 degrees for 30 minutes rather than frying.
