Im not sure if we can make tofu look like hamburger but you might be able to use gluten and grind it up, then make it like hamburger patties with eggs or something to hold them together. Now if your really wanting tofu, then you might mix cut up mushrooms with it along with onions and peppers.

Something I did with my gluten to add a new taste in my gluten is buy some big franks and then use the liquid in the big franks to soak the gluten for 2 days then cook it. Its really good. Mushrooms are pretty close to burger. have you tried gluten or mushrooms to use as a burger?

Have you ever tried making seitan using vital wheat gluten? these are easy and can be seasoned many diffrent ways. Personally I prefer black bean burgers because they are super easy and freeze well. When I first started phasing meat from my diet I was also searching for replacements. The vegetarian burger patties you find in the stores are costly and not all that good in my opinion. The thing to remember is that no matter what, Gluten, beans or wahtever is never going to taste like hamburger.

you dont need to put any coloring to brown tofu. just use a little olive oil, little herb and salt  and brown the tofu on low fire. or you can simmer soak tofu in vegetable broth for 1 hour to add flavor, and brown olive oil under low fire.

if you make a home made vegetable broth it as all better  and natural
