Ingredients

Units Scale

Tofu and Vegetable Patties:

  • 14 ounces firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup finely diced bell pepper
  • 2 green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or panko)
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Crumble Tofu: In a large bowl, crumble pressed tofu until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Add carrot, spinach, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic. Stir in soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, breadcrumbs, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Shape Patties: Form the mixture into 8 equal patties.
  4. Cook: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve: Drain excess oil on a paper towel–lined plate. Enjoy hot with a dipping sauce or in buns as veggie burgers.

Notes

  • For baking instead of frying, bake patties at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Patties freeze well before cooking—thaw before pan-frying or baking.
