The Miso Mushroom Burger is a savory and umami-packed vegan delight, featuring a blend of mushrooms and miso paste that creates a juicy and flavorful patty. Served on a toasted bun with fresh toppings, this burger offers a unique twist on traditional fast food.

Ingredients

• Shiitake mushrooms - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Button mushrooms - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Avocado - 1/2, sliced

Steps

1. In a skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
2. Add the finely chopped shiitake and button mushrooms to the skillet and cook until softened and any liquid has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
3. In a bowl, combine the cooked mushrooms, quinoa, miso paste, soy sauce, breadcrumbs, chopped green onion, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
4. Shape the mixture into two patties, ensuring they hold together well.
5. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly in another skillet or toaster.
7. Assemble the burger by placing a lettuce leaf on each bun, followed by a mushroom patty, a slice of tomato, and avocado. Top with the other half of the bun.
8. Serve immediately with your choice of side.
