   Add to the tofu.

6. 6

   Add the toasted almond meal and egg to the tofu.

7. 7

   Stir in soy sauce and sesame oil, plus salt to taste.

8. 8

   (At this point, you may chill the mixture for up to a day.)

9. 9

   Shape the almond-tofu mixture into patties and either grill or pan-fry in a tiny amount of oil until hot, about 3 minutes per side.

10. 10

    Serve by themselves, on buns or bagels, or top with cheese.
