*This recipe was developed for the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle (EA-BDC10). Adjustments may be necessary when using other models.

1

In a large bowl, place tofu and panko, then mash and mix with fork.

2

Add egg, green onion, salt, pepper, sesame oil to the bowl and mix well with a clean hand.

3

Divide mixture into four 1/2-inch thick oval patties. Dust with flour and set aside.

Fun Tip:
Instead of shaping the patties into ovals, get creative and make fun shapes like bears and hearts!

4

Turn the Gourmet Sizzler® Electric Griddle temperature control dial to 350ºF and preheat for 5 minutes. When preheating completes, brush the griddle with vegetable oil. Place prepared patties on griddle and brown both sides (about 3 minutes on each side).

5

Turn the griddle to 300ºF and flip patties. Pour sauce over patties then cover with the lid and cook for about 2 minutes. Be careful of splashing.

6

Open the lid, flip patties, cook for another 2 minutes and turn heat off.

7

Plate patties, spoon the sauce over and enjoy!
