TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Place tofu in freezer 72 hours ahead of time. To thaw, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Leave tofu in package and place in water for about 20 minutes.
• While tofu is thawing, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet. Saute onion and celery until soft and lightly browned. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
• When tofu is thawed, squeeze out excess water. Chop tofu finely and place in bowl with onion and celery. Mix in egg, cheese, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (oil should be 1/4 inch deep). Drop tofu mixture into pan in 6 equal portions. Flatten with a spatula to form patties. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden.

TOFU BURGER

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.

HOMEMADE TOFU BURGERS

Steps:

• Cut tofu into thin slices and arrange between two layers of dishtowel.
• Let stand for 15 minutes, then put firm pieces in the middle of a dry dishtowel, gather the corners, twist to form a sack, and squeeze tofu firmly to drain off as much moisture as possible.
• In a shallow bowl, combine tofu with carrot, leeks, and sesame seeds.
• Knead, as if kneading bread, for about 3 minutes.
• When dough is smooth and holds together well, moisten palms with oil and shape dough into patties, 3 to 3 1/2 inches in diameter.
• Pour oil into a wok (to a depth of 1 1/2 inches) or skillet (to a depth of 1/4 to 12 inch).
• Heat oil to 375 degrees F.
• Fry burgers until crisp and nicely browned, about 4minutes on one side, 3 minutes on the other.
• Drain and serve hot.

• In a medium bowl, mash black beans with a fork until thick and pasty.
• In a food processor, finely chop bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Then stir into mashed beans.
• In a small bowl, stir together egg, chili powder, cumin, and chili sauce.
• Stir the egg mixture into the mashed beans. Mix in bread crumbs until the mixture is sticky and holds together. Divide mixture into four patties.
