Tofu And Vegetable Patties Recipes

Steps:

• Press carrot and zucchini between paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a medium bowl combine carrots, zucchini, tofu, onion, celery, egg, bread crumbs and curry paste.
• Chop 2/3 of the basil and add it to the tofu mixture. Mix well and form into 4 patties, about 1/2 inch thick.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve with remaining basil leaves.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the oils in a large bowl with some seasoning and mix well. Heat both the oils in a frying pan. Grease an 8cm metal pastry ring or cookie cutter and place in the pan. When hot, pour 5 tbsp of the batter in and turn the heat down to medium.
• Cook 4-5 mins until golden, then take off the ring (be careful, as it may be hot), flip the pattie and cook the other side. Do this in batches, keeping finished patties warm in a low oven. Serve with the chilli sauce and extra spring onions, if you like.

Steps:

• Drain the bean curd and wrap it tightly in a clean kitchen towel. Place it on a flat surface that will hold water and place a light weight on top. Let it drain for at least 3-4 hours and up to 12 hours. Remove the pressed curd to a dry towel and gather up the edges of the towel to form a bag and gently squeeze it, mashing the curd as you do so.
• Empty the mashed tofu into a bowl and add the chopped vegetables and sesame seeds. Hand mix well and knead for a few minutes. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the mixture and mix it in, then add the egg white or glutinous yam to bind it all together. Continue to knead for another minute or so, then lightly oil your hands and form into 12 patties.
• Heat the oil to 300-325 degrees and deep fry the patties in batches for 2-3 minutes or until they float on the surface, well puffed. Flip them over and continue to fry another few minutes until golden. Drain patties well on a rack or paper towels. Combine the simmering stock ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar is melted. Add the fried patties and lower the heat to maintain a steady simmer. For best results, simmer with a Japanese dropped lid, or turn the patties several times so that all surfaces have a chance to absorb the seasoned stock. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the stock has been reduced by half. Serve warm or at room temperature, with a bit of stock ladled over the patties.
• Note: Handling glutinous yam may irritate your skin, so wear gloves when peeling and grating and use a spoon for mixing.

Steps:

• Blend tofu, zucchini, plantain, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, bread crumbs, olives, and garlic in a blender until mixture is a uniform, thick texture. Spoon mixture into your hand and mold into patties.
• Heat butter in a cast iron skillet over medium heat; cook patties, pressing on them lightly with a spatula, in the hot butter until browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients except the oils in a large bowl with some salt and pepper and mix well. Heat both the oils in a frying pan.
• Grease a 4in metal pastry ring or cookie cutter and place in the pan. When hot, pour 5tbs of the batter in and turn the heat down to medium.
• Cook for 4-5 mins until golden then take off the ring (be careful as it may be hot) flip the patty and cook the other side.
• Do this in batches, keeping the finished patties warm in a low oven.
• Serve with sweet chili sauce and scallions strips if you like.
