Ingredients

  • Patties
  • 2 pieces tofu (250g)
  • 1 small onion (100g)
  • 6 button mushrooms (100g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 tablespoon oil for stir frying onion and mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon oil for frying patties
  • Teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon mirin (or 1 teaspoon sugar and 1 tablespoon white wine or vodka)
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon potato starch

Method

  • In a small cup, mix all the ingredients for the Teriyaki sauce very well, and set aside. Put the tofu in a mixing bowl, mush it with a hand and set aside.
  • Put the oil and chopped onion in a frying pan. Turn on the heat to medium-low and cook until it becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Add the mushrooms and stir fry for another 3 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat and add to the bowl of tofu along with potato starch, salt and pepper. Mix very well with a hand. When it's well mixed, make 6 patties.
  • Heat the frying pan again on a medium heat, add the oil and fry the patties until they have nice golden color (about 3 minutes). Flip and fry the other side as well.
  • Add the sauce mixture to the pan, swirl it to cover the patties. When the sauce boils, turn off the heat (be careful not to cook the sauce too much as it could burn).
