In Japanese, the humble hamburger patty is affectionately called a Hamburg (ハンバーグ), and when crafted from tofu, it transforms into the beloved Tofu-burg (とうふバーグ). As a child, I fondly remember the kitchen filled with the aroma of these Tofu patties, a budget-friendly alternative that never failed to delight.

Today, I'm excited to share my twist on this classic - introducing the Tri-Color Tofu-Burg!

• 1 egg

• 3 tbsp potato starch

• Frying oil

Recipe is inspired by Ganmodoki, traditional Japanese Tofu dish:

Ganmodoki is a Japanese dish made primarily from tofu. It is often described as a type of tofu fritter or tofu dumpling. The name "Ganmodoki" translates to "mock goose" in English, indicating its origin as a substitute for goose meat.

It has a delightful combination of flavors and textures. The tofu provides a soft and creamy interior, while the vegetables add crunch and earthy sweetness. The seasoning enhances the umami taste, making Ganmodoki a satisfying and flavorful dish.

Just same as Ganmodoki, this Tri-Color Tofu Patties are not only delicious but also nutritious. It is rich in protein from the tofu and contains a variety of vitamins and minerals from the vegetables. Additionally, tofu is low in calories and cholesterol, making this Tofu dish is a healthy option for those looking to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diet.
