Yasai Burger

The Yasai Burger is a delightful vegetarian Japanese burger featuring a savory vegetable patty infused with umami flavors and served with a tangy miso sauce. Topped with fresh vegetables and sandwiched between soft, fluffy buns, it's a satisfying meal for both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike.

Ingredients

• Edamame - 100 grams, shelled
• Carrot - 1 medium, grated
• Shiitake mushrooms - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Green onion - 2, finely sliced
• Panko breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Miso paste - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Burger buns - 2, preferably soft and fluffy
• Lettuce leaves - 2, for garnish
• Tomato - 1 medium, sliced
• Avocado - 1, sliced
• Miso mayo - 2 tablespoons (mix mayonnaise with 1 teaspoon miso paste)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shelled edamame, grated carrot, chopped shiitake mushrooms, green onion, panko breadcrumbs, soy sauce, miso paste, sesame oil, and beaten egg.
2. Mix all the ingredients until well combined, then form the mixture into two equal-sized patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the miso mayo by mixing mayonnaise with miso paste in a small bowl until smooth.
5. Toast the burger buns lightly in the skillet if desired.
6. Assemble the burgers by spreading miso mayo on the bottom half of each bun, placing a lettuce leaf, the cooked patty, sliced tomato, and avocado on top.
7. Finish with the top half of the bun, and serve immediately.
