  • ¼ Cup Soy Sauce
  • 1 Teaspoon Liquid smoke
  • 1 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Paprika

Burger Sauce

  • ⅓ cup Vegan Mayonnaise

Instructions

  • Make the fries. Preheat the oven or air fryer to 400. Slice the potatoes into ½" sticks. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the oil/broth, spices, and cornstarch. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer and bake for 30 minutes or air fry 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  • Prepare the tofu meat. Meanwhile, heat the oil, if using, in a large skillet. Crumble the tofu into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally for 5-8 minutes, until golden brown. Add the soy sauce, liquid smoke, and spices, and stir to combine. Cook another 5-7 minutes until the liquid is totally absorbed. Remove from the heat.
  • Mix the burger sauce. In a small bowl whisk together all the burger sauce ingredients.
  • Assemble the bowls. Place a bed of lettuce in each bowl. Then top with the fries and tofu meat, tomatoes, pickles, and onion. Serve with a drizzle of the burger sauce.
