TRADITIONAL JAPANESE RECIPE: What we would call Tofu and Chicken Burger, in Japan is simply called Tofu Hambagu (豆腐ハンバーグ), that's because the basic recipe in Japan is made with Chicken.

If you are not a fan of Tofu, don't worry, it doesn't taste much and in this case, its flavour is completely covered by all the other ingredients. They are just like regular Chicken Burgers, but they are softer and Juicer. And healthier.

Add a salad next to it and maybe a Tofu Miso Soup and you have a complete healthy meal you won't regret!

03 - In a large bowl, combine all the Ingredients for the Patties and mix.

To Make Sauce:

07 - While the Patties are cooking, combine the Sauce Ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.

09 - In a smaller frying pan or saucepan, add the Sauce Mixture and bring it to a boil.

10 - Then add the Slurry Mixture in the Sauce and stir together. Cook until the Sauce thickens. Turn off the heat and set aside.



To Cook Patties:

11 - In a non-stick frying pan, heat the Oil over medium heat.
