Title: Tofu Patties
Ingredients:
– 1 block of firm tofu
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated carrots
– 1/4 cup chopped onion
– 2 garlic cloves, minced
– 2 tablespoons soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– Cooking oil for frying
Instructions:
1. Start by pressing the block of tofu to remove excess water. You can do this by placing the tofu between two plates lined with paper towels and placing something heavy on top. Let it sit for about 20-30 minutes.
2. Once the tofu is pressed, crumble it into a mixing bowl using your hands or a fork. You want a crumbly consistency, but not too fine.
3. Add the breadcrumbs, grated carrots, chopped onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, nutritional yeast, olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the crumbled tofu. Mix everything together until well combined.
4. Take a handful of the mixture and form it into a patty shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make more patties.
5. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the tofu patties in the pan, making sure not to overcrowd them.
6. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. You may need to add more oil as you flip them.
7. Once the tofu patties are cooked through and crispy on the outside, remove them from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Enjoy your delicious Tofu Patties hot off the stove, serve them as a burger with your favorite toppings, or enjoy them on their own as a protein-packed snack.
