This recipe has been on my list of recipes to create for months! I've wanted to make a quick burger with crispy tofu like this in the middle for a long time. But I wanted the tofu to have flavor, without having to marinate it for hours! With this marinade and breading, it's incredibly tasty, and they're ingredients you probably already have. The rest here is pretty minimalistic: tomato, lettuce, and burger sauce (pickles, mayo, ketchup). But feel free to re-invent the toppings based on the seasons and what you have on hand! A little slice of red onion in there wouldn't hurt 😍

Steps

Prepare the marinade: mix the cornstarch with 3 tbsp. of water, then add the soy sauce and sesame oil.
Cut the tofu into 2 large slices. Make slits on each side for better marinade penetration. Immerse them in the marinade.
Slice the tomato into rounds and thinly slice the lettuce.
Toast the burger buns.
Prepare the burger sauce: finely chop the pickles. Mix them with the mayo and ketchup.
Prepare the breadcrumbs: Mix the breadcrumbs with nutritional yeast, paprika, and a pinch of salt.
Remove the tofu slices from the marinade, roll them in breadcrumbs, then back in the marinade, and again in the breadcrumbs.
In a frying pan, heat 2 tbsp of neutral oil. Cook the breaded tofu on each side until golden.
Spread the burger buns with sauce, lettuce, tomato slices, and a slice of breaded tofu!
