Veggie Edamame Burger


These where really very good. I found the recipe on the Let's Dish

-the live well network.

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup Bulger wheat
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt-I did not use
  • 1 Tablespoon pickled ginger- note below.
  • 10 oz. thawed edamame-make sure they are shelled.
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2/3 cup shredded carrots
  • 4 teaspoons sweet cooking wine-if you can't drink it-don't use it.
  • 1 & 1/4 cup Panko Breadcrumbs-watch the sodium.
  • Egg Replacer to equal 4 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Srirach sauce
  • 2 teaspoons low sodium worchershire sauce
Directions:
  • Bring water and salt to boil. Add bulger and cook on low for 5 minutes covered. Let sit covered 15 minutes.
  • While Bulger is cooking, put the ginger and edamame together in the food processor, until the beans are well minced.
  • Place the bean/ginger mixture in a large bowl.
  • Add lemon juice, carrots, wine, panko crumbs, egg replacer, Sriracha Sauce, and worchesshire sauce to the bean/ginger mixture.
  • Add the Bulger Mixture, mix well with clean hands.
  • Refrigerate for a few hours.. Measure mixture into 4 oz balls. Put in hot sprayed pan.
  • Flatten with parchment paper, to about 1/2 inch thick.
  • Cook about 2 & 1/2 minutes on each side until golden.
  • Season with pepper
  • Put on a high fiber bun with seasonings of choice, tomatoe, onion, greens.
  • Pickled Ginger-Verna's Version:
    I couldn't find this in the store so made my own. Leave sit for a few days in the refrigerator before using
    Ingredients:
  • 1 lb fresh young ginger-sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 & 1/2 cups Rice Vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Stevia.
  • Mix together 
  • Refrigerate in a glass jar.
  • It was suggested to use this with cooked and mashed eggplant mixed with Blue Cheese.
Enjoy!!!
