Ingredients

• Chickpeas - 200 grams
• Brown rice - 100 grams, cooked
• Miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Chili paste - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams

• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - to taste
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth.
2. Add the cooked brown rice, miso paste, chili paste, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper to the mashed chickpeas. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into two burger patties.
4. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
