The Soba Noodle Burger is a creative fusion dish that combines the nutty flavor of buckwheat soba noodles with savory, grass-fed beef, creating a delightful and satisfying meal. This Paleo-friendly burger is perfect for those seeking a unique twist on traditional burgers while enjoying the wholesome benefits of Japanese cuisine.

Ingredients

• Soba noodles - 100 grams
• Ground grass-fed beef - 250 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon (for cooking)
• Lettuce leaves - 2 large (for wrapping)
• Avocado - 1 medium, sliced
• Pickled ginger - to taste (for garnish)

Steps

1. Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, chopped green onion, minced garlic, grated ginger, coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Divide the beef mixture into 2 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
4. In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Cook the burger patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
5. While the burgers are cooking, take the cooled soba noodles and form them into two circular patties, about the same size as the burger patties.
6. Once the burgers are cooked, carefully place a soba noodle patty on top of each burger patty and press down gently to adhere.
7. Remove the burgers from the skillet and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
8. To serve, wrap each burger with a large lettuce leaf, add sliced avocado on top, and garnish with pickled ginger.
