By Tiffy Cooks
These golden-brown crispy tofu patties offer a satisfying crunch on the outside while remaining tender and flavorful on the inside. When paired with the creamy, slightly spicy cilantro sauce, this combo tastes perfect, served as a burger patty or on top of salads.
Ingredients
- ¼ cabbage chopped
- 1 potato peeled and grated
- 450 g medium-firm or firm tofu around 1 pack, drained and pat dry
- 1 egg optional
- ¼ - ½ cup cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
Creamy cilantro sauce
- 1 bunch cilantro around 2 cups
- 1 lime
- 4 cloves Garlic
- ½ cup mayo
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a bowl, add chopped cabbage, grated potato, tofu, egg, cheese, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, and salt and pepper. Massage well while breaking apart the tofu. You are looking for a paste-like consistency.
- Using your hands, form the tofu into patties of your desired size; I have around 3-4 tablespoons per patty.
- Drizzle oil in a pan, and turn the heat to medium. Once the pan is hot, add in the patties, and pan-fry for 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. Keep in mind this timing depends on the size of your patties.
- The sauce blend cilantro, lime, garlic, and mayo. Season with salt and pepper, and blend till a smooth consistency.
- Drizzle the sauce ontop of the patties, and enjoy!
