The Peanut Tofu Burger is a flavorful vegan delight that combines nutty peanut butter with protein-rich tofu, creating a satisfying and hearty meal. Served on a soft bun with fresh vegetables and a zesty sauce, it's a delicious twist on traditional burgers.

Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Peanut butter - 3 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Whole wheat buns - 2
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Carrot - 1, grated
• Fresh cilantro - a handful, chopped
• Sriracha sauce - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then crumble it into a bowl.
2. Add peanut butter, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch to the crumbled tofu, mixing well until combined.
3. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
4. Form the tofu mixture into two patties and cook in the skillet for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown.
5. While the patties are cooking, prepare the vegetables: slice the cucumber, grate the carrot, and chop the cilantro.
6. Toast the whole wheat buns lightly on a pan or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing the tofu patty on the bottom half of each bun, top with cucumber, carrot, cilantro, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce.
