Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 300 grams
• Sriracha sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into thick slices.
2. In a bowl, mix Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
3. Add the tofu slices to the marinade and let them soak for 10 minutes.
4. Sprinkle cornstarch over the marinated tofu slices on both sides.
5. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the tofu slices for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
6. While the tofu cooks, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired.
7. Assemble the burgers: Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom bun, add a crispy tofu slice, top with sliced cucumber, avocado, pickled ginger, and chopped green onions.
8. Finish with the top bun, serve immediately, and enjoy your Sriracha Tofu Burger.
