Hi, I just found your websites and got in love at first sight. Great thanks for the great recipes. I will try this one first…
Just one quick question, what else we can substitute the watechestnut in this recipes?
Laura: Thanks for dropping by and your compliment. Water chestnut adds some natural sweetness and a crunchy texture to the patties. There is no 100% substitute but jicama is considered the closest. Other possible options would be celery and apples. Hope it helps. 😉
ALso, do you know how long do I need to cook these patties if using the oven? Great thanks!
Laura: I haven’t tried this method before but you can do your own experiment by baking them at 200°c for 10-12 minutes. Drizzle some oils on the patties before you send them to the oven. Happy trying!!
Hi, after i take out the patties from the fridge, the patties are very soft and end up cannot hold the pattie shape when i transfer to the pan. Why is it so? Too much toufu ?
Andrea: Maybe try to cut down the amount of tofu next time. Alternatively, wrap the tofu with a piece of cheese cloth and squeeze out the excess water. 🙂
