Ginger Soy Burger

The Ginger Soy Burger is a delightful vegan twist on classic burgers, infusing zesty ginger and umami-rich soy sauce into a hearty patty. Served on a fluffy bun with crisp vegetables, it’s a flavor-packed meal that's both satisfying and nutritious.

Ingredients

• Cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• Chickpeas (canned, drained) - 200 grams
• Fresh ginger (grated) - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Green onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Carrot (grated) - 50 grams
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato slices - 1 medium
• Avocado (sliced) - 1/2

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth but still slightly chunky.
2. Add the cooked quinoa, grated ginger, soy sauce, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated carrot, cornstarch, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
3. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more cornstarch.
4. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and form them into patties.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small drizzle of oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns until golden.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom of each bun, followed by the patty, tomato slices, and avocado. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds.
8. Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
