Ingredients

  • I block extra firm tofu, frozen and thawed

  • ½ cup aquafaba

  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup panko

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ¾ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp salt

  • Pepper to taste

  • 4 tbsp of vegetable oil

  • ½ red onion thinly sliced

  • Iceberg or butter lettuce leaves

  • Vegan mayo

  • Yellow or whole grain mustard

  • 4 soft buns

Instructions

  1. Place 3 medium-sized bowls (bowls large enough to fit the tofu slice) on your workspace. Add flour to the 1st bowl along with paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper. Add aquafaba to the 2nd bowl. Add panko along with a generous amount of salt and pepper to the 3rd bowl. 

  2. Use your right hand to place tofu in the flour mixture coating evenly. Remove using your left hand and dip in aquafaba coating evenly. Place in the 3rd bowl and using the dry right hand, toss the tofu in panko crumbs until coated. Repeat with all tofu slices.

  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully lay tofu in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until crust is golden brown and crispy.

  4. Spread a layer of mustard and mayo on each side of the bun or use condiments to taste. Place tofu patty and top with onion and lettuce.
