Ingredients

• Firm tofu - 200 grams
• Gluten-free burger buns - 2 pieces
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Carrot - 50 grams, julienned
• Cucumber - 50 grams, sliced
• Fresh cilantro - 15 grams, chopped
• Sriracha sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Mayonnaise (vegan if desired) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste

Steps

1. Press the tofu for 15 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into two equal patties.
2. In a bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and rice vinegar. Marinade the tofu patties in this mixture for at least 10 minutes.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated tofu patties for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
4. While the tofu is cooking, prepare the toppings: julienne the carrot, slice the cucumber, and chop the cilantro.
5. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise with sriracha sauce for a spicy dressing.
6. To assemble the burgers, spread the spicy mayonnaise on the bottom half of each gluten-free bun, place a cooked tofu patty on top, and add the carrot, cucumber, and cilantro.
7. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
