Sunday - Tofu burger patties


Um..I am so behind on my blog updates.
I'm going to make this one really quick... ha ha


Well, I didn't cook dinner because my boys were both sleeping around dinner time.
I made bento for my husband for Monday lunch though~!


So here's the picture of the bento...




The menu of the bento was...


Tofu burger patties
Edamame rice
Tomato & cheese
Mixed veggies
Pickles



I made tofu burger patties because I had some tofu and ground meat left for the week. Not so much of leftover ingredients any more ;)
A lot of Tofu Burger patty recipes include ground meat, so if you are a true vegetarian, this is not for you.
I used half tofu and half ground meat (turkey) this time, but I will try to come up with a pure tofu burger patty recipe one day :)




These are the seasoning ingredients I used:

(left) Karaage (fried chicken) seasoning
(right) Chinese chicken stock powder


Here is the recipe....

Tofu---2/3 or 1/2 drained water really well
Ground meat---1/2lb

*Karaage seasoning---2tsp
*Chinese chicken stock powder---2tsp
*egg---1
*Potato starch---2tbs


1) Mix all the ingredients well together



2) Make a patty with palm of hands.
3) Spray some oil in a large pan. Put all the patties in and cook on a medium heat.


4) Cook until both sides are brown and crispy.




For the sauce...

Red wine---1/4cup
Ketchup---1/2up
Tonkatsu sauce---1/4cup
Agave---1tbs

1) Mix all together in a sauce pan until boiling.



I'm in a bit of a hurry to update another blog now!
