Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking shoes with greaseproof poper

Step 2

First up, make the burgers.

Step 3

Add the tofi to a large mixing bowl and mash with a potato masher until it's broken up into small pieces

Step 4

Alternatively break it up into small pieces with your hands

Step 5

Add the rest of the burger ingredients to the bowl and mix until well incorporated

Step 6

Don'l mash it too much as it will turn into more of a purée, resulting in a mushy burger

Step 7

Now il's time to form the mix into burger patties

Step 8

Add a little flour to your hands each time to stop the mix from sticking to you.

Step 9

You should get 4 large burgers.

Step 10

Place the burgers onto the lined baking sheet

Step 11

I like to get the burgers nice and golden on the outside before baking them, so add a little oil to a non stick pan placed over a medium heat

Step 12

Whan hot, fry the burgers for around 3 minutes on each side, or until golden.

Step 13

Place the burgers back onto the tray once fried

Step 14

Bake the burgers for 15 minutes

Step 15

Meanwhile, mix up the dressing (see note below). Pep up your burgers by adding this hot and zingy dressing. Mix 2 tbsp soy sauce with the juice and zest of 1 lime, 2 tsp siracha, 1 tbsp brown sugar and 1 minced garlic clove.

Step 16

if using, and prepare your garnishes

Step 17

Once the burgers are baked, remove from the oven and build your burgers.

Step 18

Serve them inside a toasted bun with lots of the dressing, and the garnishes: carrot, watercress/spinach, spring onions (scallions), sesame seeds, cucumber, vegan mayonnaise and Sriracha.
