description Tofu Burger Overview
A tofu burger is a burger-style dish in which the main patty is made from tofu rather than ground meat. The tofu is commonly pressed, crumbled or mashed, and combined with ingredients such as grains, vegetables, legumes, seasonings, or binders before being shaped and cooked. It can be pan-fried, baked, or grilled and served in a bun with sauces and vegetables. Tofu burgers are used in vegetarian and vegan cooking as a plant-based alternative to a conventional hamburger.

What is a tofu burger made from?
A tofu burger uses tofu as its main patty ingredient instead of ground meat. The tofu may be pressed, crumbled, or mashed and combined with grains, vegetables, legumes, seasonings, or binders.
How do you stop a tofu burger from falling apart?
Pressing excess water from the tofu and adding a binder can improve the patty's texture. Common binders include grains, flour, breadcrumbs, or other ingredients that help the mixture hold its shape during cooking.

A tofu burger can be pan-fried, baked, grilled, or cooked on a griddle, depending on the recipe. The goal is usually to firm the outside while warming the center without drying it out.
