Steps

2. Add soy sauce, lime juice, chopped mint, chopped cilantro, shallot, garlic, chili flakes, and rice flour to the crumbled tofu. Mix well until combined.
3. Heat sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Form the tofu mixture into two patties and cook in the skillet for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the burger buns by toasting them lightly if desired.
