Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 12-ounce package firm tofu, drained, patted dry, cut into 1-inch-thick slices
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1/2 cup grated carrot
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
2 teaspoons minced peeled ginger
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup almonds, toasted, finely chopped
1 large egg white, beaten to blend
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon oriental sesame oil
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted
4 sesame seed buns, toasted
4 tomato slices
1 cup alfalfa sprouts

Steps:

  • Wrap tofu in doubled dish towel. Place on work surface. Weigh down with a board topped with food cans or weights for 1 hour. Squeeze towel-wrapped tofu to extract as much liquid as possible from tofu. Transfer tofu to medium bowl. Using fork, mash into small pieces.
  • Spray medium nonstick skillet with nonstick spray; place over medium heat. Add carrot, green onions, ginger and garlic; sauté until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Cool. Mix carrot mixture, almonds, egg white, soy sauce, sesame oil and sesame seeds into tofu. Season with salt and pepper. Shape mixture into four 1/2-inch-thick patties. (Can be made 4 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • If grilling, spray grill rack with nonstick spray, then prepare barbecue (medium heat). If sautéing, spray large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and heat over medium heat. Lightly spray patties on both sides with nonstick spray. Place patties on grill or in skillet and cook until golden brown and heated through, about three minutes per side.
  • Place 1 burger on each bun bottom. Top each with 1 tomato slice, some sprouts and bun top and serve.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed these burgers. They were a great alternative to beef burgers and I'll definitely be making them again.

I followed the recipe exactly and the burgers turned out great! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I served them with a side of roasted vegetables and everyone loved them.

These burgers were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more liquid to the mixture next time.

These burgers were easy to make and tasted great! I used a food processor to chop the almonds and it worked perfectly. I also added a bit of garlic powder and onion powder to the mixture for extra flavor.
