Directions
For the Burger Sauce, spoon the nuts into a blender container. Add the water; let stand for 10 minutes. Add the mustard, tomato paste and Tofu Allrounder to the blender; blend until the nuts are finely chopped and the sauce is well blended. Set aside.
For the Burgers, place the tofu pieces in a bowl; sprinkle evenly with the Tofu Allrounder, then drizzle them with 1 Tbsp. of the oil. Set aside.
Cut the avocado lengthwise in half, then remove and discard the pit. Scoop out the avocado flesh into a medium bowl. Add 1 Tbsp. of the remaining oil; mash the avocado with a fork until desired consistency.
Combine the flour and sesame seeds in a pie plate or shallow dish. Heat the remaining oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the tofu pieces, one at a time, to the flour mixture, turning to evenly coat both sides of each piece with the flour mixture.
Add the tofu to the hot skillet; cook for 5 minutes or until the tofu pieces are heated through and lightly browned on both sides. Meanwhile, toast the cut sides of the buns, if desired.
Spread the bottom halves of the buns with the avocado mixture, then the Burger Sauce; top with the fried tofu, tomatoes and onions. Cover with the tops of the buns.
Note
How to Make Tofu Delicious
Unlocking the full potential of tofu and transforming it into a culinary masterpiece is a skill worth mastering. The key lies in preparation. Begin by selecting the right type of tofu – firm or extra-firm works best for most dishes. To banish excess moisture and enhance its ability to soak up flavors, press the tofu gently between paper towels. After that, you can really pimp the tofu with a spicy marinade or crunchy breadcrumbs. Our Tofu Allrounder helps you to give the neutral tofu the perfect taste.
