Radish Salad Burger

The Radish Salad Burger is a vibrant vegetarian dish that combines the crunch of fresh radishes with a savory, umami-rich mushroom patty. Topped with a zesty gochujang sauce, this burger is a delightful fusion of Korean flavors.

Ingredients

• Radishes - 200 grams, thinly sliced
• Cucumber - 100 grams, julienned
• Carrot - 50 grams, grated
• Green onions - 2, chopped
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Sugar - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Mushrooms (shiitake or button) - 150 grams, finely chopped
• Cooked quinoa - 100 grams
• Breadcrumbs - 50 grams
• Egg - 1, beaten
• Burger buns - 2
• Gochujang (Korean chili paste) - 2 tablespoons
• Mayonnaise - 2 tablespoons
• Lettuce leaves - 2

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the sliced radishes, cucumber, grated carrot, green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for 10 minutes.
2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped mushrooms for about 5 minutes until they release moisture and become tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the sautéed mushrooms, cooked quinoa, breadcrumbs, and the beaten egg. Mix well to form a patty mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Form the mixture into two patties and heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
5. To prepare the sauce, mix gochujang and mayonnaise in a small bowl until well blended.
6. To assemble the burgers, place a lettuce leaf on each bun, add the mushroom patty, top with the radish salad, and drizzle with gochujang mayo. Close the buns and serve immediately.
