1 onion
oil
1/2 cup wholewheat or buckwheat flour
1/2 cup cornmeal or rice flour
1 Tbsp miso
- Drain and rinse tofu a few hours ahead. Squeeze as much water out of it as possible (for tofu tips, see 'A Word About Tofu' in my Dragon Bowl post).
- Chop onion and saute in a drizzle of either olive oil or veg oil in a large, flat, preferably non-stick pan.
- (Let the onion cool at least a little bit before going on to the next step.)
- Place onion in a food processor. Crumble in tofu and add remaining ingredients.
- Turn on food processor to blend. Stop when it becomes a ball of dough. This should take less than a minute.
- Take your large, flat, preferably non-stick pan and put about 1/8 to 1/4 inch of veg or canola oil in it. Turn on the heat and let it heat up for a few minutes. (You can do this step while blending the tofu mixture.)
- Scoop out the tofu mixture and form into patties, making sure they're around 1/2 inch thick. Fry in oil, about 10 minutes on each side. They will be golden brown. mmmm.....yummy.....
- Drain on a plate lined with several layers of paper towels.
- Serve with any toppings or condiments you like. We like ketchup, mayo, and sliced tomatos.
