Juicy tofu veggie burger

1. Heat a pan without oil and toast the burger buns cut-side down until golden brown. Remove from the pan and leave to cool slightly.
2. Place the sugar in a tall container and pour a little boiling water over it so that it dissolves. Add the vinegar and stir everything together. Add the onion rings and pour enough hot water over them. The onions should be covered. Leave to stand for 15 minutes.
3. For the burger sauce, puree all the ingredients with a hand blender.
4. Heat a medium-sized frying pan with a little vegetable oil and fry the omami sweet chili tofu slices on both sides for about 3-4 minutes. The patties should be golden brown. If you like, place a slice of cheese on each patty.
5. Heat another pan with olive oil and fry the oyster mushrooms on both sides for approx. 3-4 minutes. Press a heavy object or a smaller pan/casserole lid on top so that the mushrooms flatten. Finally, sprinkle with a little Parmesan cheese.
6. For the topping, first spread some sauce on the bottom of the burger, place the lettuce on top, place the patty on the lettuce, pour some sauce over it, place the onion rings on top, without the sauce. Now you can continue layering as you wish. We recommend spreading a little sauce on the top of the burger bun too, so it holds better.

Happy omami. Enjoy the taste!
