Point
- Press the tofu well to remove excess moisture—it helps the patties hold together.
- Sauté the vegetables or mushrooms beforehand to reduce water and boost flavor.
- Adjust the amount of breadcrumbs or mayo based on the texture of the mixture.
- Cook both sides over medium heat until golden and crisp on the outside, soft inside.
