Ingredients:
For the patties:
1 cup cooked brown rice (can substitute cauliflower rice for a grain-free option)
1/2 cup firmly packed, extra-fine rolled oats
1 can full-fat coconut milk (400 ml / 13.5 ounces)
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 3 tablespoons water (optional egg replacer)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions (white and light green parts only)
1/4 cup slivered almonds (optional for texture)
1/4 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if necessary)
Salt and pepper to taste
For the sauce:
1/4 cup unsweetened soymilk (or any non-dairy milk)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon peanut butter
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
For the patties:
1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, oats, coconut milk, optional egg replacement mixture, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Mix well until everything is combined.
2. Add the chopped green onions, slivered almonds, and bread crumbs. Stir to combine.
3. In another small bowl, mix together the salt and pepper. Add half to the burger mixture and stir to combine. Set aside.
For the sauce:
1. Combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl and whisk until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Preparation:
4. Divide the burger mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick. Place the formed patties between two sheets of parchment paper and press down on them with your hands to remove excess moisture. This will help prevent the burgers from falling apart when cooked.
Cooking:
5. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add a small amount of oil (optional) to the pan. Once hot, place the burgers in the pan and cook for about 4 minutes per side. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your pan.
Assembly:
6. To assemble the burgers, spread a little bit of the prepared sauce on the bottom halves of your buns. Place a burger patty on top of each, followed by a few slices of thinly sliced cucumber, carrots, and daikon radish. Top with the remaining bun halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Note: If you don’t have any leftover rice, you can use precooked quinoa or cauliflower rice instead. Just adjust the liquid ratio accordingly.
