Ingredients

• 14 ounces Firm tofu
• 0.5 cup Teriyaki sauce
• 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 stalks Green onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
• 4 pieces Burger buns
• 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
• 4 slices Sliced tomato
• 4 slices Sliced red onion

Directions

Step 1

Drain the tofu and press it to remove excess moisture. Wrap it in a clean towel, place a heavy object on top, and let it sit for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Crumble the pressed tofu into a large mixing bowl using your hands or a fork.

Step 3

Finely chop the green onion, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger. Add them to the bowl with the crumbled tofu.

Step 4

Add the breadcrumbs, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the bowl, mixing thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive mixture that can be shaped into patties.

Step 5

Shape the tofu mixture into 4 equal-sized burger patties.

Step 6

Heat the cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the tofu patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and pour the teriyaki sauce over the patties. Let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes, turning the patties to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or toaster.

Step 9

Assemble the burgers by layering lettuce, a tofu patty, sliced tomato, and red onion on the bottom half of each bun. Place the top bun on and serve immediately.
