Description:
Slices of frozen tofu provide the "chewiness" associated with a truly good burger. The dark marinade lends a "meaty" flavor and moist juices. This "burger" has the chewy texture and juiciness associated with a truly good hamburger. Serve on sprouted rolls with tofu mayonnaise.
Ingredients: 2 lbs. medium-firm or firm tofu (NOT silken tofu), frozen at least 48 hours
Marinade: 1 1/2 cups water 2 tablespoons soy sauce (regular or mushroom) 2 tablespoons ketchup (fruit-juice sweetened, cane-sugar sweetened, or organic) 2 teaspoons Marmite, Vegemite or other yeast extract (gives a “beefy” flavor) or 4 teaspoons red miso 1/4 teaspoon garlic granules 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 1/4 teaspoon dried basil 1/4 teaspoon dried parsely 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Serve on buns with all the trimmings.
Directions: 1. Thaw out the tofu. Slice each pound block into three thick slices. Place the slices on a cookie sheet covered with a couple of clean, folded tea towels. Cover the slices with more tea towels and another cookie sheet. Weigh this arrangement down with something heavy for about 15-20 minutes. Now the tofu slices are ready for marinating.
2. Mix the marinade ingredients together and pour over the prepared tofu slices in a shallow container in one layer. Cover and let marinate for several hours or days.
3. Just before serving, pan-fry on a lightly-oiled heavy skillet or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until browned on both sides. Or cook on an indoor grill.
Serve on buns with all the trimmings.

 Restless Leg Syndrome | Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS) is a disorder that has been making big headlines lately. At rest, the sufferer's legs often feel
uncomfortable, and he/she may have a very strong urge to move. If you think you may have RLS, see a health care provider; don't diagnose yourself. Once they have ruled out other conditions and diagnosed you with RLS, it can be managed. Techniques include taking a warm bath before bedtime, sleeping on your side with a pillow between your knees, and avoiding both alcohol and caffeine, especially before going to bed.
