Ingredients

• Cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• Chickpeas (canned, drained) - 200 grams
• Kimchi (chopped) - 100 grams
• Green onion (finely chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil (for frying) - 2 tablespoons
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Sliced cucumber - 100 grams

Steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, mash the chickpeas using a fork until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Add the cooked quinoa, chopped kimchi, green onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
3. Form the mixture into two patties, about 1.5 cm thick.
4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. While the patties are cooking, lightly toast the burger buns in a separate pan or in the oven.
6. Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the cooked patty, sliced cucumber, and a drizzle of Sriracha sauce. Top with the other half of the bun.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy your Korean Kimchi Burger!
