• Cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• Green onion - 2 stalks, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet corn, cooked quinoa, green onion, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, gochujang, cornstarch, breadcrumbs, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into 2 equal-sized patties.
3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through.
