Description

Vegan diet doesn’t mean boring diet. Vegetarian recipes can be fun and tasty. I know vegan burgers are not all alike. Sometimes they don’t have the desired texture. But this time everything is perfect! Brown rice and lentils go so well together. Try it with vegan mayonnaise it is fantastic. I hope you’ll enjoy this vegetarian burger as much as I do.

    They look delicious. I will be making these. I am wondering can I use fresh green cooked lentils rather than canned ones? Thanks for sharing all these great recipes.

    I made these tonight. They are the best vegan burgers I ever made. They have the right consistency. And the balance of sweet, savoury and umami is wonderfully combined with the dates, the soja and the miso. I love your feeling for taste Buddhist chef!

    I just made these and they are excellent. This is the best vegan burger I’ve made and it contains no soy, no fake meat.

    Knowing, from preparing other recipes by The Buddhist Chef, that the vegan burgers would be perfect in texture and flavor, I made a triple batch with the intent of freezing most.

    Oh My !!! These are by far the best vegan burgers I have attempted to make. Spectacular flavor and texture.

    Thank You. My carnivorous family begged for the recipe. That is the highest of compliments.

    Very tasty and flavorful, but the texture is a bit soft, I’m wondering what could be done to make them firmer?

    What kind of mushrooms should I use? Asia (Shiitake or the like) or simple champignons? And, perhaps even more important: fresh ones (somewhat dry) or canned (wet)?
