While you can put Bessou's miso marinade on just about anything (think of it as Japanese ketchup), why not try something new — like these vegan Tofish (or "fish" made from tofu) Patties?

Ingredients

• 8 oz medium-firm tofu
• 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 Tbsp Bessou miso marinade
• ½ tsp grated ginger
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp sugar
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 sheet of nori, cut into quarters
• 2 Tbsp neutral oil, for frying

Recipe

1. Wrap the tofu in a clean dish cloth and place in a shallow pan or tray. Place a heavy pot on top for 30 minutes to press out excess liquid. Make sure the pot is balanced properly and won’t tip over.
2. Crumble the tofu into a small food processor and add the flour, Bessou miso paste, ginger, salt, and sugar. Pulse a couple of times until the mixture is combined, but still lumpy.
3. Form into 4 patties about the size of a piece of seaweed.
4. Brush the tofu patty with sesame oil and lay the seaweed on top.
5. Heat a medium frying pan on medium-high heat. After one minute, add the oil.
6. When the oil is hot, gently place the patties tofu-side down into the pan.
7. Sear for 2 minutes until golden, then flip over and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve hot.

Enjoy!
