Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Pickle the daikon

  • Peel the daikon and trim the ends; using the peeler and working around the round outer edge, shave half the daikon into thin ribbons. Alternatively, cut the daikon in half lengthwise, then thinly slice half the daikon crosswise into half-moons. Save the remaining daikon half for another use. [Peel and shave or slice 1 daikon; save the remaining daikon for another use.]

In a small sauce pot, bring the quick-pickle brine and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water to a boil. Remove from the heat, add the daikon, and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Make the cucumber salad

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; cut the cucumber into ½-inch pieces.

In a medium bowl, combine the cucumber and rice vinegar. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

3

Cook the burgers; toast the buns

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the tofu burgers and cook, turning once, until lightly browned and heated through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan. 

Place the buns, cut sides down, in the pan and cook over medium-high heat until lightly toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Alternatively, toast them in a toaster oven.

4

Assemble the burgers

Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on a work surface and top each with a tofu burger. Using a slotted spoon, remove the pickled daikon from the brine. Top the burgers with as much daikon as you like and drizzle each with 1 tablespoon Korean BBQ glaze. Close with the bun tops.

Serve

Transfer the tofu burgers and cucumber salad to individual plates. Serve any remaining pickled daikon and the remaining BBQ glaze on the side.
