Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP)
- 1 cup Hot Water
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Liquid Smoke
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground Sage
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 0.5 cup Chickpea Flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional Yeast
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 4 pieces Vegan Burger Buns
- 4 pieces Lettuce Leaves
- 4 pieces Tomato Slices
- 4 tablespoons Vegan Mayonnaise
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the TVP with hot water, soy sauce, and liquid smoke. Stir well and let it sit for 10 minutes to absorb the liquid and rehydrate.
Once the TVP is rehydrated, add onion powder, garlic powder, ground sage, black pepper, ground ginger, chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, and breadcrumbs to the bowl.
Mix all ingredients until well combined and form into four equal patties.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the skillet if needed.
Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are browned and cooked through.
While the patties are cooking, prepare the buns by spreading vegan mayonnaise on each bun.
Place a cooked patty on the bottom half of each bun, and top with lettuce leaves and tomato slices.
Cover with the top half of the bun and serve immediately.
