These were pretty good. I added eggs and still couldn't get them to hold together so I added miso and V8. That did the trick. I like the recipe but I think they are missing something. Will play around with them till I can find what it is!

This is good, but takes some elbow grease. Trying to mash those beans took what seemed like ages, and the tofu was not too forth coming with it's liquid either. However, once that was out of the way it was surprisingly simple. I added cumin (as suggested) and used dried basil (no fresh available). Also, I had no oat bran, so I used wheat germ. Tasted just fine. If you aren't sure whether the mixture is will hold it's patty shape when cooking here's a tip: simply make a huge ball out of it before making patties. If it retains the ball shape without lots of crumbs and cracks, it'll do fine. But if it won't retain the shape, add an egg or maybe more liquid. That's how I figured out if it would stay together in the pan. Hope that helps!

For a Veggie Burger this was pretty good. Only giving it 3 stars due to the having to alter the recipe to get it to work. As other reviewers have posted it falls apart completely without the addition of eggs. I had to add 2 large eggs to the recipe. I also added cumin and taco seasoning, per other reviewers suggestion. Tasted good. My 19 month old enjoyed it. Husband wasn't so into it. He prefers regular burgers. He ate them though! I started them over medium high heat to brown (and keep the shape) then covered and lowered to medium low to fully cook through. Made them light and fluffy with that crunch on the outside. I did not have Korean BBQ sauce, but I did add half natural BBQ sauce and 1/2 teriyaki sauce. Tasted pretty similar. We put Thai Sweet Chili sauce on the buns and this was spectacular with the patties. Have quite a bit of leftover uncooked mix, going to saute it up tomorrow night and try it in burritos.

I found this kind of labor intensive given the result. If I make this again, I will probably use instant rice instead of cooking brown rice. Despite using extra firm tofu and the egg as recommended, most of the patties fell apart in the oil. It's possible I didn't squeeze enough of the water out of the tofu. I wonder if chilling the mixture for an hour or so before cooking might help. We enjoyed the flavor, so we may venture to try again with modifications.

My husband and I really liked the flavor of these burgers! I only made some minor changes: I used wheat bran instead of the oat bran (and doubled the amount), and added some cumin as another reviewer mentioned. I found that the mixture actually held together pretty well (I didn't need to add any egg), possibly due to both the doubling of the wheat bran and the fact that I drained the tofu beforehand (placed it between paper towels and put a heavy skillet on top). I'll definitely be making this again!

Im not a vegetarian and this meal was fabulous!! I did add an egg which helped (kinda the meatloaf effect). I also added about 1/4 cup Bisquick for it to stick together even better.

These were fine - not great - also very hard to keep together while cooking.

We enjoyed the flavor of these. They do, as other reviews said, tend to fall apart a bit if you're not careful - it's that darn tofu! Not making the patties too thick, using a very wide spatula to turn, and cooking till crisp on one side before turning all helps. I'll make again & try some variations - maybe black beans, sunflower seeds, sesame, etc..

I should have read the reviews before I made this. It definitely needs an egg or something to bind the mixture together. I used wheat bran instead of oat bran, and I added more of it to the mixture, which seemed to help. They were really falling apart on me. The fact that I absolutely couldn't get any water to squeeze out of the tofu didn't help matters. It all just squished between my fingers. I think the flavor is pretty good; I especially like the brown rice. I just wish the texture was better.

Many reviewers suggested adding egg and I concur. I also substituted A-1 sauce for the BBQ sauce with good results. Texture was appealing and leftovers warmed well as patties and crumbles in taco salad.

This was a wonderful recipe that I would make again except that next time I would add a bit more egg to get the patties to stick together better I did use 1 egg but it wasn't enough, they fall apart very easily. I also used Tariaki sauce instead of the bar-b que sauce because I couldn't find the bar-b que sauce and it gave the burgers a tangy taste.
