IBS-Friendly Tofu Patties

Hey IBS community! Lately I have been experimenting a lot more with tofu and I would love to share this recipe that I have created for any of you tofu-lovers. The one thing I love about tofu is that it truly is a great replacement for meat, especially since I am trying to cut down due to my IBS. Tofu is a great source of protein and is naturally a gluten-free product, which is great for IBS-friendly recipes. In this recipe, I have created my version of tofu patties that you can either enjoy on a burger bun, or on a salad - whichever works best for you. I guarantee you won’t be upset with the taste! Try it out and let me know what you think!

Servings: 3

Ingredients for tofu patties

• 12 oz. of Extra firm tofu
• ¼ cup of gluten-free bread crumbs
• 1 tsp of dried ginger
• ½ cup of shredded parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp of dried parsley
• 1 tsp of black pepper
• 3 tsps of salt
• 2 eggs
• (Optional) slices of Swiss cheese
• 2 tbsps of coconut oil/vegetable oil

Directions for tofu patties

1. Make sure to drain the tofu and wrap with paper towels for at least an hour or two before cooking.
2. Put tofu in a large bowl and either crumble with your hands or use a potato masher. (You can also use a food processor)
3. Mix the tofu with shredded parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, eggs, and ginger.

4. Form the mixture into tofu patties. Feel free to let the patties sit in a refrigerator for at least 10-15 min to make sure they stay firm.

5. Add coconut oil to a pan on medium high heat, and cook the patties about 2-3 minutes on each side. They should be golden-brown on both sides.
6. Once they are done, serve however you so choose; either on a salad or even as tofu burgers.
7. Enjoy!
