Total Time:
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 14 ounces extra-firm tofu, drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (if cooking on a stove top)
- 1/4 pound Cheddar, sliced
- 1 4-ounce package alfalfa sprouts
- 1 small bunch radishes, sliced
- 4 whole-wheat rolls, toasted
- honey mustard (optional)
Directions
- In a saucepan, combine the soy sauce, sugar, and vinegar. Cook the marinade over low heat until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Cut the tofu into four 1-inch-thick burgers. Transfer to a bowl, pour the marinade over the top, and let sit 15 minutes, turning once.
- Place the burgers on a medium-hot grill and cook 1 to 2 minutes per side. (Or heat the oil in a grill pan over medium heat and cook the tofu 2 minutes per side.)
- Top each burger with some of the Cheddar and cook 2 minutes more or until the cheese melts.
- Top with some sprouts and sliced radishes. Serve on the rolls with mustard, if desired.
