Ingredients

4 servings

For the patties

2 blocks (14 oz each) extra-firm tofu
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil

For serving

4 burger buns
4 leaves lettuce
1 large tomato, sliced
4 tbsp mayonnaise
4 tsp yellow mustard
4 slices cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions

1
Press the tofu: drain both blocks and wrap them in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels. Set a baking sheet on top and weight it with a heavy skillet or canned goods. Press for 30 minutes, until the towels are saturated and the tofu feels noticeably firmer and drier.
2
Grate the pressed tofu on the large holes of a box grater (or pulse in a food processor 6–8 times) into a large mixing bowl — you want a coarse, crumbly texture, not a paste.
