Ingredients

• cooked chickpeas - 240 grams
• cooked rice - 100 grams
• carrot - 1 medium, grated
• spinach - 50 grams, blanched and chopped
• green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• gochujang - 1 tablespoon
• cornstarch - 2 tablespoons
• bread crumbs - 50 grams
• burger buns - 2
• cucumber - 1 small, sliced
• radish - 50 grams, thinly sliced
• sliced avocado - 1/2

Steps

1. In a large bowl, mash the cooked chickpeas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture.
2. Add the cooked rice, grated carrot, blanched spinach, chopped green onion, minced garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, and gochujang to the mashed chickpeas. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Stir in the cornstarch and bread crumbs until the mixture holds together. If too wet, add more bread crumbs as needed.
4. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape each into a patty.
5. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
6. While the patties are cooking, toast the burger buns lightly on a separate skillet or in a toaster.
7. Assemble the burgers by placing a patty on each bun, topping with cucumber slices, radish, and avocado. Add extra gochujang sauce if desired.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your Chickpea Bibimbap Burger!
