Ingredients
- 400 grams Extra firm tofu
- 120 milliliters Soy milk
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 30 grams Nutritional yeast
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams Breadcrumbs
- 60 milliliters Vegetable oil
- 4 Vegan burger buns
- 4 Lettuce leaves
- 1 Tomato, sliced
- 60 grams Vegan mayonnaise
- 4 Vegan cheese slices
- 50 grams Pickles, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Press the tofu to remove excess moisture. Slice the tofu block horizontally into four equal slabs.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the soy milk and lemon juice. Allow it to stand for about 5 minutes to curdle, forming a vegan buttermilk.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, combine the flour, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Place the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Step 5
Dip each tofu slab first in the flour mixture, then in the soy milk mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs, ensuring each piece is well covered.
Step 6
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the tofu schnitzels and fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Step 7
Lightly toast the burger buns on a dry pan or in an oven.
Step 8
Assemble the burgers: Spread vegan mayonnaise on the bottom half of each bun, place a lettuce leaf, then a tofu schnitzel, a slice of vegan cheese, a tomato slice, and pickles. Top with the other half of the bun.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Vegan Chicken Schnitzel Burger!
