Method
Grate the tofu into a large bowl. Add in the sriracha sauce, coriander, shallot, soy sauce, panko breadcrumbs and mint. Mix to combine and then, using your fingers, squeeze the mixture together to combine it well. Form four equal patties and chill for 20mins before cooking.
Cook on the BBQ for a few mins each side, until cooked through. These can also be fried to cook them - only use a little oil (around 1tsp) and cook for 5-8 mins each side until cooked. Serve in burger buns with your favourite accompaniments.
Top tips for making tofu burgers
If the mixture remains crumbly after working for a few mins, add a little more sriracha sauce (1/2tbsp at a time) to bring it together. The mixture should not be wet but should hold together when you form a burger patty.
