Ingredients

  • Almond flour - 100 grams
  • Psyllium husk - 1 tablespoon
  • Egg - 1 large
  • Water - 100 ml
  • Ground beef - 200 grams
  • Garlic - 1 clove, minced
  • Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
  • Cooking oil - for frying

Steps

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Add the egg and water to the flour mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Roll the dough into a thin circle, about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle half of the chopped scallions over the dough.
  4. Roll the dough tightly into a log and then coil it into a round shape. Flatten the coil gently with your hands.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of cooking oil. Fry the pancake for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix ground beef, minced garlic, soy sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into two burger patties.
  7. In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked to your liking.
  8. To assemble, place a burger patty on top of the scallion pancake and drizzle with sesame oil. Top with remaining scallions if desired.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy your Scallion Pancake Burger!
