tofu burgers!

summer is here!!
with summer, comes tofu burgers!



here's a quick simple recipe for some delicious tofu burgers that i stole from my friend shmoo...

buy a package of pressed tofu and slice into appropriate burger sized portions (they should be about 1/2 inch thick)
chop up a bunch of garlic and ginger (the amount really depends on taste... i like a lot of garlic, so i go with about 4 or 5 cloves, with a similar amount of ginger)
toss the ginger into a dish appropriate for marinating with about a 1/3 cup of soy sauce or tamari, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, and a hit of sriracha sauce.
toss in the tofu and leave to marinate for as long as you want (i would give it at least an hour... it only gets more delicious with time)

these can be grilled on the bbq, or fried in a pan... whatever is easiest.
cook about 5 minutes on each side.

i served these burgers on a multi-grain bun with vegan mayo, ketchup, jalapeño hummous and a pile of wilted spinach.
