Notes
The best way to cook this recipe is right in your skillet with some hot oil. These tofu burgers are freshly made patties that will not stand up to a grill. Rather, they would fall apart if you tried to grill them. Frying them in a skillet will give them a crispy exterior that helps to keep the burger's shape when it is hot. The inside will be hot and soft, and full of all the flavors you have added to the tofu.
When I make these Tofu Burgers, I like to make them into sliders, which is a ¼ cup scoop. Making them into sliders also helps the patty to keep its shape better. You can double the size for a full sized burger, however, it is more fragile this way due to the weight. As a result, you need to handle it carefully when making a sandwich.
