1. First using a medium sauté pan, add okara with a little oil and cook on medium low heat to remove excess moisture. After a minute or so, add in onions and cook together on low heat for 7-10 minutes until onions have just started to yellow, stir frequently so okara doesn’t burn.
2. Meanwhile, combine tofu, rice, panko, flour, miso, mushrooms in a food processor. Process until uniform in texture and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
3. Once the onion okara mixture is ready add to tofu mixture and mix thoroughly.
4. If still hot allow to rest 10-20 minutes until cool enough to handle.
5. Shape into the patties about ½ in. thick and 3-4 in. in diameter. Set aside.
6. Heat 2-3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil on a large pan using medium heat. Once heated, add patties and cook until slightly browned and flip.
7. Once flipped, repeat for the remaining patties.
8. Once cooked, place on serving plate, top with sauce.
9. Serve with steamed vegetables, potatoes and/or rice.
