Achieve the Perfect Texture
As a plant-based cooking expert with years of recipe testing, I recommend starting with 150g of crumbled tofu (fresh or sous-vide) per steak. Mix in a handful of cooked seeds like wheat, quinoa, or oats, plus your choice of grated carrots, chopped mushrooms, and oat bran. This combo can crumble in the pan without binding—solve it by adding 1 tablespoon of flour per serving. Spread the dough on parchment paper and shape into steaks using a cookie cutter or bowl.
Master the Seasoning
Tofu is protein-packed but neutral in flavor. Enhance it with soy sauce, garlic powder, and onion powder. Get creative: add curry powder for an Indian twist or tomato sauce for burger vibes. Limit liquid ingredients to maintain structure.
Cook to Perfection
Heat an oiled frying pan to medium and sear the steaks for 3 minutes per side until golden and firm.
