The Thai Peanut Satay Tofu Burger brings vibrant Southeast Asian flavors to the burger world with crispy pan-fried tofu, creamy peanut sauce, and fresh vegetables. Extra-firm tofu is pressed, marinated in aromatic spices, then pan-fried until golden and crispy on the outside while staying tender within. The rich peanut satay sauce delivers sweet, savory, and slightly spicy notes that perfectly complement the mild tofu.

This burger celebrates Thai street food flavors with its combination of crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, crunchy cucumber, and tangy pickled carrots. The homemade peanut sauce is the star, blending creamy peanut butter with lime juice, soy sauce, and a hint of sriracha for complexity and heat. Quick-pickled carrots add a bright, acidic crunch that cuts through the richness beautifully.

Ideal for vegan Thai food lovers and anyone seeking a protein-packed plant-based meal, this burger is as nutritious as it is delicious. The tofu provides complete protein while the vegetables and peanuts add fiber, vitamins, and healthy fats.
