Cooking instructions
Instructions for 2 [for 3] [for 4] portion recipe.
Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7
Cut your potatoes (skins on) into fries
Add the fries to a baking tray (or two!) with a drizzle of vegetable oil and a pinch of salt and pepper
Give everything a good mix up and put the tray[s] in the oven for 20-25 min or until the fries are golden and crisp
Meanwhile, drain your tofu, pat it dry with kitchen paper and slice into 2 flat pieces per person
Add 80ml [120ml] [160ml] milk to a shallow bowl with half your cider vinegar (you'll use the rest later!) – this is your marinade
Add the sliced tofu to the marinade and give everything a good mix up, then set aside until later
Slice your cucumber finely into discs
Add the cucumber discs and the remaining cider vinegar to a bowl with a pinch of salt and sugar
Stir everything together and set aside – this is your quick-pickled cucumber
Heat a small pot with 10g [15g] [20g] butter over a low heat
Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and add your sriracha (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) with a pinch of salt and sugar
Stir everything together until fully combined with a sauce-like consistency – this is your buffalo sauce
Slice your brioche bun[s] in half
Peel and grate your garlic
Add your mayo to a small bowl with your dried oregano, grated garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!), 1 tsp [1 1/2 tsp] [2 tsp] of the pickling liquid from the quick-pickled cucumber and a pinch of pepper
Give everything a good mix up – this is your ranch-style dip
Discard all the excess marinade from the tofu
Add your ground smoked paprika and cornflour to the bowl with the marinated tofu
Season with generous a pinch of salt and pepper and give everything a good mix up until the tofu is fully coated
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a very generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat
Once the pan is very hot, add the coated tofu and cook for 3-4 min on each side or until golden and crispy – this is your fried tofu
Add the brioche halves to a separate baking tray, cut side up, and put the tray in the oven for 4-5 min or until warmed through
To build your burger, spread a little of the ranch-style dip on the base of the warmed brioche halves, top with a handful of the quick-pickled cucumber and the fried tofu, then drizzle the buffalo sauce over the top
Top with the warmed brioche bun lid and serve the fries with the remaining quick-pickled cucumber and ranch-style dip to the side
Enjoy!
