Step 1 :
Take a firm tofu square, crumble it and squeeze out the excess water in a cheesecloth. Keep it aside.
Step 2 :
In a bowl, mix 2 tbsp oats with 2 tbsp of water to form a thick paste. Add the drained tofu to the oat mixture. Add capsicum, mushrooms, onions, finely chopped green chillies and garlic, salt and 1 tbsp honey. Mix the ingredients well with your hands or a spatula.
Step 3 :
Shape the mixture into thick patties and coat with breadcrumbs. In a frying pan, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil. Place each of the patties gently in the pan, and cook until both sides are golden brown. Remove from heat.
Step 4 :
Lightly toast or grill the burger buns in a pan. Start assembling the burgers. Spoon vegan mayo onto one piece of bread and mustard onto the other. Add a lettuce leaf to the bottom half and put the patty on top. Then spread some tomato ketchup on the patty. Add thinly sliced cucumbers, tomatoes and onions, top it off with some kimchi and cover with the top half of the bun. Serve fresh.
