These burgers are full of flavour and easy to make
First we'll begin with pressing the tofu,you can use a Tofu press
if you have one but I don't so this is how I do it:
I take my Tofu, wrap it in a cloth and place that on a
flat bottomed plate.I put another plate on top of the tofu
and then I put a cup filled with rice (500gm)any heavy object works
Once your Tofu press it ready, set that aside for 30 mins at least
While we wait,we'll make a tomato sauce.
Tofu is very bland but it absorbs flavours well so this sauce is perfect
Cut ripe tomatos into small cubes,this doesn't taste good
if the tomatos aren't ripe enough,so pick the ripest ones
Once it's all cut,place in a heated pan and cook on medium
heat.Add some salt,vinegar and chilli flakes.
Smush all the tomatos till you get a smooth-ish sauce
use the immersion blender if you like it more smooth
I like it like this
Once it's thick,taste it and take it off the heat
Put that in a bowl and set aside while we prepare our patties
In a separate bowl,
mix cornflour,baking powder,salt,all purpose flour,red chilli powder
Add 10ml water to make a paste
take the tofu out of the press
cut into a square
further cut in half
coat the tofu square with the cornflour paste,
this will help the breadcumbs stick and will also make it
crispy,look at my cat pebbles
make sure that you get every corner,
Take off any jewelry you may have on because things are going to get messy
Coat the marinated tofu with breadcumbs and really pack
that on tightly,make layers of breadcrumbs because
the marinade has water and water with hot oil is never a fun time
Once its all tightly packed,we'll fry them
You don't need to deep fry these so there's no need to
add a full pot of oil,a shallow fry is enough
Let the oil heat till it reaches 175 C or 325 F
And gently drop your tofu patties in one by one
Let these fry for around 5 mins and
then turn it over carefully on the other side
both sides should be golden brown in color
prepare a plate with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil
take your tofu cubes out,drain as much oil as you can
and place on the paper towel
toasting buns is not necesary but I like to so I will on
both sides
We'll also make some onion rings so peel an onion
and then use a sharp knife to cut some thin rings
Separate the rings
I prefer shredded lettuce instead of a leaf of lettuce so I'll also
cut some of that into thin shreds
Cut an avocado,Avocado is a great mayonnaise
substitute because it has a lot of fat(healthy fats)
using a knife,I'll slice it ,tak out the pit and using a spoon I'll
scoop it out onto my buns
I will season my Avocado with salt and red pepper flakes
as well because I would rather die than eat avocado pure
Add the onion rings
Place one pattie on the brurger
mix your tomato sauce once and add some on the tofu
Place the second patty on top like a sandwich and add
some more of the tomato sauce,the tofu will absorb it
like a spongge
finally I'll add my lettuce shreds and the other bun
I realised that I formed this burger upside down,so I just had to flip it.
Once you cut it across,you'll see how beautiful this is
I ate it and it is a little messy to eat
but as Andy Dwyer once said :
"Messy is fun"
AND THIS IS SUPER FUN,I FORGOT TO BRING IT DOWN TO THE CAMERA AFTER TAKING ONE BITE
