1 block (285g) firm tofu
50g bulgar wheat or 100g cooked millet or rice
50ml hot water
1 small onion, very finely chopped
50g mushrooms, very finely chopped
50g carrot, grated
1 vegetable stock cube, crumbled
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp dried mixed herbs or 2 tsp any fresh herb, coriander, dill, etc
2 tbsp wholewheat flour, plus a little extra for coating
Recipe
Break up the tofu with your fingers into very small pieces.
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and squeeze well to shape into burgers. (As the mixture is very sticky it will help if you dip your hands and utensils in cold water).
Refrigerate for an hour or two.
For a crisp coating, toss the burgers in a little wholewheat flour before frying.
Deep-fry the burgers in oil, a few at a time.
Drain well and serve hot or cold.
Note: it is most important to fry the burgers in very hot oil to avoid disintegration.
