Instructions

Make Patty

  • Dice onion, carrot and scallions and place into the mixing bowl. Mix together.
  • Then drop in an egg into the mixture and mix it in.
  • Then put in breadcrumbs and do a final mix.
  • Season with salt and pepper.

Prep Sauce

  • Thinly slice shiitake and button mushrooms as well as the onions.
  • Separate the enoki mushroom from each other with your hands.
  • Make sauce: Mix-in soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar and rice wine

Cook Patties

  • Place large frying pan on medium heat and put in cooking oil (wait until frying pan is hot!).
  • Place tofu steak patties in and flip when golden brown.
  • Cook until each side is golden brown. Set aside.

Cook Sauce

  • Put oil into frying pan and place onions in.
  • Once onions start turning clear, add in all of the mushrooms. Cook until you get some browning on the mushrooms.
  • Then add in the sauce. Then put about 3T of water in.
  • Let the sauce cook and reduce for about a minute. Then turn off the heat.
  • Finish by placing sesame oil into the sauce.

Notes

  • Note this recipe includes eggs and oyster sauce.
  • Make sure to cook the patties on a medium or medium-low heat, as will burn on higher heats.
  • Also, you can replace breadcrumbs with either flour or potato starch - makes firmer patties
