Cooking Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

250.00 g tofu

1 Tbsp nutritional yeast (not bread yeast)
1 medium sized onion, diced finely
1 Tbsp dark soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
1 pinch black pepper
1/4 cup wholewheat flour

Directions:

Remove tofu from its package and stand on a sloping board for a few minutes, allowing any excess liquid to drain away.

Crumble tofu into a bowl, add garlic and onion, then the remaining ingredients.

Mix together well, then working with wet hands, divide the mixture into quarters, then eighths. Shape each portion into a 3 to 4-inch patty.

Heat a non-stick skillet; cook for 5 minutes per side, or until the burgers are golden brown.
