These crumbed tofu burgers are so easy you’ll want to add them to your at-home dinner repertoire too. If you have it on hand, we love to use Japanese (Kewpie) mayonnaise, either plain or flavoured, with these burgers.

Ingredients

Method

1.

Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

2.

Meanwhile, place flour in a shallow bowl; season. In another shallow bowl, lightly beat eggs. Place breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl. Coat tofu in flour; dip in egg, allow excess to drain off, then coat in breadcrumbs.

3.

Add oil to hot pan to heat (it will heat quickly). Cook crumbed tofu for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Remove with tongs or a slotted spoon; drain on paper towel.

4.

Combine coleslaw mix and mayonnaise in a medium bowl. Divide coleslaw among bun bases; top with one or two pieces of tofu, sriracha to taste and bun tops.

You can substitute 2 large chicken breast fillets for the tofu, if preferred. Halve the chicken horizontally and widthways before crumbing.
