Smoky tempeh burger

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Main Courses Quick Meals
Tempeh is a gift from Indonesian cuisine: a block made from fermented soy beans, with a texture much more exciting than tofu. It has a nutty, mushroom-like taste, which we highlight with smoky spices in this recipe. Since the beans remain whole inside, the burger patty has a substantial and rustic bite.

Instructions

1 ✓

Crumble the tempeh with your hands or a fork into small pieces. Finely chop the onion and garlic.

Tip: Don't grind it completely into a paste; the charm of tempeh lies in the chunky texture.
2 ✓

Fry the onion in a frying pan with a little oil, then add the tempeh. Drizzle with soy sauce, season with paprika, pepper, and fry for 5 minutes.

Tip: Frying deepens the flavours and removes the raw fermented aftertaste.
3 ✓

Let it cool slightly, then mix in the egg and breadcrumbs. Knead together.

Tip: The mixture needs to be sticky to hold together.
4 ✓

Form patties and rest in the fridge for 20 minutes.

Tip: Chilling helps binding.
5 ✓

Fry the patties in a pan until they get a crispy golden brown crust.

Tip: Turn carefully as it is more fragile than meat.
6 ✓

Serve in the bun with usual accompaniments.

Recipe FAQ

The tempeh is bitter, what should I do?
Tempeh has a natural, slightly bitter taste. If this bothers you, steam it for 10 minutes before use; this takes away the bitterness.
Where can I buy it?
In health food shops, Asian markets, and larger supermarkets' chilled sections, usually next to tofu.
