What is the best Tofu patty/burger patty recipe you have ever made?
Answers:
I have not made these yet, but both of these burgers supposedly won awards. The second one isn't tofu, but it sounds good.
Judges Choice: Tofu Burger
yield: 6 burgers
Ingredients:
1 lb tofu
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
3 Tbsp. nutritional yeast
2 Tbsp. vegetable bouillon powder
pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/4 cup (or more) sesame seeds
1 small scrubbed potato
1/4 tsp. (or more) garlic powder
onion powder to taste, or one small onion
Grind the tofu, potato and onion (if using) in a food processor. Don't let it get too fine. Mix in remaining ingredients, shape into burgers and bake at around 350 degrees on a very lightly oiled cookie sheet for 15-20 minutes, turning once. They can also be fried.

1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely ground
1/4 cup almonds, coarsely ground

1 Tbs Vegix seasoning or instant vegetable broth
1/4 cup green pepper, minced

1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp ground sage

Mix all ingredients together well. Form into patties and gill until cooked through. Serve on whole wheat rolls with tomato slices and your favorite condiments.

My BEST burger came from Cooking Light and it included tomatoes, onions, jalapenos and spices stuffed in the burger.
I have been trying to recreate it. You'd think I would look in the cookbook or on the website again, huh?

a black bean burger recipe from vegetarian times cookbook
This is the most simple and tastiest tofu burger recipe:
Just make it like you'd make a ground beef burger, but use tofu instead.
Press the tofu to remove as much water as you can. Mash it with a fork. Add 2 eggs (or egg replacer) and some bread crumbs and mustard and cumin and whatever else you might like in it (jalapenos, onion, green onion, whatever).
Form into patties and fry in a pan.
Being a former chef, I used to make one with eggplant, zucchini, portebello mushrooms, red peppers, I processed them and then sauted them in peanut oil, as they were cooking I processed both firm tofu and seiten, Mixed them and add a small amount of soaked bulgar and a healthy amount of parsley, salt, white pepper, oregano, chili flakes and a touch of whole wheat flour.
They should be made ahead of time, chilled and cooked in a non-stick pan with a spray of oil, I like to brown them and the finish them in the oven, this way you have time to prepare the garnishes, like with meat burgers. I used the tradtional garnishes, soya cheese, a tahini sauce similar to the one you get with Falafel or a nice garlicy hummus.
I made these several time when I was in the Hotel/Restaurant business when asked for a veggie alternative, and I was in the business in the 1970-80's when there was not alot of processed veggie burgers, you made them or did not serve them??
