- Ready In:
- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Serves:
-
3
ingredients
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger (peel first)
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons edamame
- 1 lb firm tofu, drained
- 3 tablespoons miso
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt (omit if the miso you choose is salty)
- cornstarch, for coating
directions
- Saute green onion and chopped ginger in sesame oil until limp, 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- Boil edamame in water to barely cover until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Chop very coarsely and set aside.
- Combine tofu, miso, salt (if needed) and green onion mixture until smooth (using hands or food processor). Fold in chopped edamame by hand or with a spatula.
- Divide into 9 pieces. Form each into a round or oval pattie and coat in cornstarch. Fry in vegetable oil 1" deep (the oil is hot enough when a small bit of the mixture turns brown in 3-4 seconds). Fry in batches without overcrowding, until browned all over. Drain on paper towel and cool to room temperature.

I'm a 48 y/o gay Jewish man in the suburbs immediately north of New York City. I'm a general internist, practicing and teaching at a medical college north of NYC. I also earned a Masters in Public Health degree in 2013.
After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
