Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Block of Super Firm Tofu
- 1/3 cup Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Neutral Oil
- 1-2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup
- 2-3 Tablespoons Oat Flour
- 2 Tablespoons Ground Flaxseed and 4 Tablespoons Water
- 1-2 Tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
- 1 Teaspoon Ground Fennel
- 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 Teaspoon Fresh Cracked Pepper
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, or To Taste
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Sage
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt, Optional
Instructions
- Add Liquids: In a large bowl, add the soy sauce, oil, and maple syrup. Whisk briefly to combine them fully.
- Add the Dry Ingredients: Place the oat flour, nutritional yeast, and spices into the bowl.
- Crumble the Tofu: Grab your super firm tofu and crumble it into the bowl by hand. Mix everything together, then add the flax eggs and mix again. Taste test: taste a tiny bit of it. Add a bit more salty stuff if needed (but don't add too much more liquid).
- Form Patties: Grab a bit of the mixture and roll it into a ball in your hands. The size of the ball will determine the size of your patties. Then press it down into a puck shape. Set each aside on a plate until you have formed all your patties.
- Pan Frying Method: Add a bit of oil to your pan and heat it on medium high. Once ready, add your patties and cook each side until golden brown. Note: Be patience as turning them too soon may cause them to collapse.
- Air Frying Method: Add a piece of parchment paper to your air fryer, making sure the paper doesn't go too high up the walls of the basket. Add your patties and then cook for 8 to 10 minutes with a shake alarm. Flip them half way through if you are able to.
- Oven Method: Preheat Oven to 350 F (175 C). Add parchment paper to a baking tray and place your patties on it. Bake for 6 to 10 minutes or until patties are desired golden color.
Notes
- Note 1: If your mixture is too wet, add more flour or nutritional yeast. If too dry, add more oil, soy sauce or a little water.
- Note 2: Serving sizes will vary depending on how big of patties you make.
- Note 3: Using a medium to large cookie scoop, you can form balls out of your mixture to make your vegan sausage patties a consistent size.
