Ingredients
  • 1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and pressed
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • 2 (1-inch thick) slices of pineapple, cored and peeled
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 4 buns
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
Directions
  1. Slice the tofu into 4 equal patties.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger.
  3. Place tofu in a shallow dish and cover with marinade, turning to coat both sides. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, flipping once.
  4. Preheat a grill pan to medium-high heat.
  5. Grill the pineapple slices until charred, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. Dice the grilled pineapple and transfer it to a bowl with the diced onion, jalapeño, cilantro, and lime juice. Toss to combine. Set aside.
  7. Grill the marinated tofu patties on medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side, until they're heated through and grill marks appear.
  8. Preheat the oven to broil.
  9. Toast the buns for 2 minutes in an oven set to broil.
  10. Brush the remaining marinade from the tofu over the bottom of the bun.
  11. Assemble the burger: top the tofu with pineapple cilantro salsa and slices of avocado, and cover with the second bun half.
  12. Serve the tofu burgers with more salsa on the side.
