How to Make the Best Veggie Burgers
Step 1: Sauté the Mushrooms
- Pulse mushrooms in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat, add mushrooms, and cook until tender (5-7 mins).
- Stir in tamari, balsamic, mirin, paprika, and sriracha. Cook 2 more mins.
Step 2: Mix the Burger Base
- In a bowl, combine mushroom mixture, garlic, shallot, walnuts, rice, panko, and flaxseed.
- Mash with a fork until sticky. Chill for 15 mins (helps binding).
Step 3: Form & Cook Patties

- Grill Method: Brush with oil, grill 4-5 mins per side.
Stovetop Method: Pan-fry in oil until crispy (4 mins/side). - Brush with Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor!
