You won't miss the meat in these rice and edamame burgers
No one will miss the meat when they take their first bite of these ultra-savory, Japanese-inspired rice burgers packed with edamame and infused with fresh ginger, sesame, and the distinct taste of nori, a type of dried seaweed.
For a burger with edamame in every bite, we pulsed it—along with some fresh spinach—with the rice in the food processor. This enabled us to incorporate far more filling into each burger, and slightly processing the rice released more starch, making the patties easier to shape.
We topped our burgers with flavorful sriracha mayonnaise and a medley of matchstick carrots, bean sprouts, and thinly sliced radishes for lively crunch. Swapping out the traditional burger bun in favor of iceberg lettuce leaves gave our burgers a lighter, fresher taste. To make these burgers vegan, substitute vegan mayonnaise.
