Basic Soy Burgers Recipes

SOY BURGERS

Steps:

• Soak soybeans overnight in plenty of water. Drain and transfer to a pot. Cover with fresh water and cook until soft, about 1.5 hours.
• Peel and finely chop onion and ginger. Drain soybeans well and roughly puree with an immersion blender. Mix in onion, ginger, chopped cilantro and breadcrumbs. Mix in egg and season with salt and pepper. If needed, add more crumbs so that the mixture holds together. Shape mixture into 4 patties (use hamburger press, if desired). In a grill pan, cook soy burgers in hot oil, 4-5 minutes per side.
• Rinse the red dock leaves and shake dry. Rinse sprouts and drain well. Mix sprouts with mayonnaise.
• Halve burger buns horizontally and toast until golden-brown. Place red dock on bottom halves of buns and top with soy burgers and sprouts. Place top halves of buns on burgers and serve.

SIMPLE SOYBEAN BURGERS

Steps:

• In food processor, combine soybeans, tamari, oil, cayenne and garlic. Process until smooth, then transfer to large mixing bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients (except additional oil) in order listed, mixing well with each addition. In large skillet, heat thin layer of oil or cooking spray over medium-high heat. Scoop out about a peach-size amount of bean mixture and shape into a patty (wet hands as necessary so they don't stick) and place each patty into hot oil. Brown on one side, then turn and brown other side 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining mixture.
