Tofu Burger Recipe

Tofu Burger

Total Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 2

Sometimes you just want to kick back and relax with a good burger and some fries. This ground tofu patty burger, topped with Boombay’s savoury and healthy Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce, is the perfect plant-based addition to your cookout party menu.

Chef’s note:

  • Press and gently pan-fry, steak-sized blocks of tofu. Marinate them in our 100% plant-based Teriyaki Sauce, which also works great as a marinade. Use our thick sauce to enjoy tofu patties with deliciously crispy crusts on the barbeque. 
  • When ready, serve the burgers with a side of french fries.

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of Boombay’s Teriyaki Stir Fry Sauce
  • 1 packet of Extra Firm Tofu
  • 1 small Tomato
  • 1 small Onion
  • 1 small Iceberg Lettuce
  • 2 Burger Buns
  • 1 teaspoon of Oil to fry French fries
  • 1 tablespoon of your favourite Butter
