Vegetarian, Low-Fat Teriyaki Tofu Burgers

 

1/4 cup light soy sauce

1/3 cup frozen pineapple concentrate, thawed

2 tablespoons ketchup

1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed

2 green onions, chopped

1 teaspoon minced ginger root

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

4 slices fresh pineapple

12 1/3 ounces extra-firm low-fat tofu

Salt

4 Kaiser rolls, split and toasted

2 cups alfalfa sprouts

4 tomato slices

Iceberg lettuce

 

Cut tofu into quarters lengthwise then in half crosswise.

Whisk together soy sauce, pineapple concentrate, ketchup, sugar, onions,

ginger, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil and sesame seeds.

Grill pineapple slices over medium heat, brushing often with sauce, until

pineapple is brown and tender, 2 to 3 minutes each side.

Gently set tofu slices on grill and brush with sauce. Carefully turn several

times so tofu browns evenly, brushing with sauce. Grill 2 to 3 minutes per

side. Lightly season with salt.

To serve, place 2 grilled tofu slices on each toasted bun, top with grilled

pineapple slice, sprouts, tomato slice and lettuce.

Makes 4 servings.
