Tofu Burgers

“This recipe uses tofu that has been frozen for 72 hours and then quickly defrosted. Onion, celery and cheese make these burgers delicious. This is a family favorite at the Silverwolfs' den. Serve in place of meat as a main entree or place on a bun along with your favorite toppings: lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, etc. These burgers can also be baked in an oven preheated at 350 degrees for 30 minutes rather than frying.”

I am currently moving to tofu and made this for me and my boyfriend. We love it. I used the baking method and had some variations: *Squeezed the water out of the tofu for 20 min between plates & paper towels *Then soaked the tofu in beef stock for 20min before crumbling into the baking pan *Sauteed green peppers instead of celery *Add fennel seed for a more meaty flavor *Add cumin, chili powder, and red pepper flakes to add spice(we like spicy) With the cheese and egg it will do well in the oven. Used 2 eggs instead of one to make it bind a little more.

I added an extra egg white since my mixture was not binding well. Once in the hot oil... they didn't hold their shape and I got frustrated and started "scrambling" the whole thing. Maybe my tofu was old? It had been frozen for longer than 72 hours... :( Don't think I'll try it again since the flavor wasn't that good to me. I'm sad... :(

I found this recipe really boring and tasteless! I baked instead of fried it, and it had a horrible texture. It might be better if it's fried, but I wouldn't make it again. Sorry!

I loved this recipe! It ws my first time cooking tofu and it turned out delicious. I used lite tofu and cut way back on the oil, thereby making it very healthy as well as tasty. I threw in some garlic, too, for more flavour.

Tasty. I baked them and they were nice. The need some seasoning but you can jazz them up with just about anything.

Tasted kind of like plain scrambled eggs pushed together. I did everything as the recipe asked, besides using 1/2 a cup of oil. I used 1/4th of a cup and it was still way too much. I had a problem trying to keep them together. I wouldn't mind trying this recipe again, but I would definitely add more seasonings and less oil.

These tofu 'burgers' were great! Warranted, getting them to hold together was a challenge, (I added a dash of bread crumbs) but once they were in the pan, the oil kept them all in individual patties. I did add a little Adobo seasoning, parsley, and finely chopped red cabbage (in place of the onion) and about a tsp of dried minced onion. The consistency was a little more "fried chicken sandwich" than "burger" but delicious all the same and the whole family, including the meat-eaters, loved them.
