Smoked Tofu Burger Patties

My own try at spicy burger patties with a combination of veggies and smoked tofu. They stay good for up to a week in the fridge and at least a month in the freezer. If you're planning on storing pre-made patties in the freezer, try to freeze the formed patties and only fry them before you're eating them later. They can be eaten in a burger or with rice or other sides if you're in a hurry! If you're making burgers, check out this quick recipe for vegan burger buns and combine it with some arugula or regular salad, thinly sliced onion, tomato slices and (optionally spicy) mayo.

Preparation

  6. Transfer the mixture onto a plate and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  7. Make a slurry with corn starch and water, then combine with the tofu/vegetable mixture in a small mixing bowl.
