Servings: patties
Ingredients
- ¼ cup quick-cooking oats or quinoa flakes for gluten-free
- 14-16 ounce soft tofu drained well and finely crumbled
- ¼ cup wheat germ or quick-cooking oats
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose seasoning blend such as Mrs. Dash
- 1½ teaspoons curry powder or to taste
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- sesame seeds optional
- olive oil for the pan
Instructions
- Place the oats or quinoa flakes in a medium mixing bowl and cover with ½ cup boiling water. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- Add the crumbled tofu, wheat germ (or additional oats), seasoning blend, curry powder, scallions, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Stir until completely combined.
- Heat enough oil to coat a wide nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Ladle the tofu mixture onto the skillet in ¼-cup portions and flatten each into a patty.
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds if using. Cook on both sides over medium heat until golden brown, about 4–5 minutes per side.
- Drain on paper towels briefly and serve warm or at room temperature on buns with your favorite condiments, or on their own.
