Ingredients

1 carrot , grated

bunch spring onions , sliced, plus extra strips to serve

1 garlic clove , crushed

3cm/1¼ inch piece ginger , grated

400g block firm tofu , drained and crumbled

2 eggs , lightly beaten

2 tbsp each sesame and vegetable oil

sweet chilli sauce , to serve

Method

Combine all the ingredients except the oils in a large bowl with some seasoning and mix well. Heat both the oils in a frying pan. Grease an 8cm metal pastry ring or cookie cutter and place in the pan. When hot, pour 5 tbsp of the batter in and turn the heat down to medium.

Cook 4-5 mins until golden, then take off the ring (be careful, as it may be hot), flip the pattie and cook the other side. Do this in batches, keeping finished patties warm in a low oven. Serve with the chilli sauce and extra spring onions, if you like.
