Tofu Spinach Burgers Recipes

Steps:

• Place tofu in freezer 72 hours ahead of time. To thaw, fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a simmer. Leave tofu in package and place in water for about 20 minutes.
• While tofu is thawing, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a small skillet. Saute onion and celery until soft and lightly browned. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
• When tofu is thawed, squeeze out excess water. Chop tofu finely and place in bowl with onion and celery. Mix in egg, cheese, salt and pepper until thoroughly combined.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and pour in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (oil should be 1/4 inch deep). Drop tofu mixture into pan in 6 equal portions. Flatten with a spatula to form patties. Fry for 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until golden.

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler.
• Squeeze excess moisture from the spinach.
• In a food processor bowl, combine all the ingredients except the cheese and process just until the mixutre reaches a uniform consistency and holds together.
• Form into 6 patties and broil for 5 minutes on each side, until slightly brown.
• Top with the cheese during the last minute, if desired.
• Serve immediately, plain or on a bun.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together.
• Shape into patties and cook how you normally would, on the grill or on the stove until an internal temp of 160'.

Steps:

• Heat the canola oil over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet or wok, and add the tofu. Stir-fry until the tofu is lightly colored, three to five minutes, and add the garlic, ginger and chili flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about one minute, and add soy sauce to taste. Add the spinach and stir-fry until the spinach wilts, about one minute. Stir in the sesame seeds, and add more soy sauce to taste. Remove from the heat.
• Using tongs, transfer the spinach and tofu mixture to a serving bowl, leaving the liquid behind in the pan or wok. Drizzle with the sesame oil, and add more soy sauce as desired. Serve with rice or other grains, or noodles. You may also use it as a filling for whole wheat pita bread.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees and cook spinach according to package.
• Place cooked spinach in a food processor cup and add the remaining ingredients. Blend well.
• Pour mixture into a nonstick pan. Bake for 50 minutes. Allow to cool, and serve.
