Soba Burger

The Soba Burger is a delightful fusion of traditional Japanese flavors and modern vegan cuisine, featuring soba noodles packed into a savory patty. Served with a tangy miso mayo and fresh vegetables, this burger is both nutritious and satisfying.

Ingredients

• Buckwheat soba noodles - 100 grams
• Chickpeas (cooked) - 150 grams
• Green onions - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Whole grain burger buns - 2
• Lettuce leaves - 2
• Tomato - 1, sliced
• Cucumber - 1/2, sliced
• Miso paste - 1 tablespoon
• Vegan mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons

Steps

1. Cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water.
2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork until mostly smooth.
3. Add the cooked soba noodles, chopped green onions, grated carrot, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
4. Form the mixture into two equal patties and set aside.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a splash of sesame oil. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
6. While the patties are cooking, mix the miso paste with the vegan mayonnaise in a small bowl to create the miso mayo.
