Semolina has a very unique taste, slightly nutty with a hint of sweetness. I like how it keeps you full for a long time. Thanks to all the fiber it has.
Mix that really satisfying carbs in semolina and the satiating protein in tofu, that’s a perfect recipe for a tasty meal that complements your fitness.
This is a healthy vegan friendly meal you can make for a breakfast or use these patties to make a nice sandwich for a lunch. I like eating them on their own with a cup of black coffee.
What makes these tofu and semolina patties healthy
These protein rich low-calorie patties have about 9g of protein and just 112 calories per serve. Feel free to have two serves if you require higher protein amount.
Let’s not forget the veggie goodness you are getting from the carrots. They are also making these patties absolutely adorable.
These tasty patties are so soft they almost melt in your mouth. They actually save a lot of time as you can easily eat a bunch of them in seconds.
If you want to make the protein content even higher, you can add some casein or any vegan protein powder.
If you add the protein powder, remember to exclude the salt that’s listed in the ingredients. Otherwise, you’ll end up with the patties that are sweet and salty. Not great.
I tested this recipe both with casein powder and without. I liked it without the protein powder as it gives you more natural and salty flavour, as you would expect from a patty.
Best type of tofu for these patties
Remember to get the firm or extra firm tofu. I actually prefer extra firm one. They are easy to grate and hold nicely in the patty shape.
Tip
You can replace the green onion with chives as well if you like. Although they both add a similar flavour, chives have a much milder onion flavour. I tried both green onions and chives, and I loved the flavor of both.

Then pour the right amount of batter inside the ring and gently press it for full coverage, making sure no area left uncovered. If any part is left uncovered or not pressed nicely, the patties may break when flipping.
- Cook one side for 2 to 3 minutes, or until you can see it changing color. Then flip the patties and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Now it's time to serve your tofu patties. Enjoy your it with a cup of coffee.
