red onion 1 small, roughly chopped
garlic 1 large clove
dark soy sauce 2 tsp
Marmite 1 tsp
brown rice miso paste 2 tsp
cooked beetroot 50g
shiitake soaking water (see above) 7 tbsp
vital wheat gluten 50g, see notes below
gram flour 50g
smoked paprika ½ tsp
ground cumin ¼ tsp
dried tarragon ½ tsp
sea salt 1 tsp
TO SERVE
vegan burger buns 5, halved and toasted
lettuce leaves 5
tomato slices 5
vegan cheese slices 5
Instructions
STEP 1Put the mayo and kimchi in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Stir in the chopped spring onion.
STEP 2
To make the burgers, put the mushrooms, onion, garlic, soy, Marmite, miso, beetroot and shiitake soaking water into a food processor and pulse until the consistency of a very chunky tapenade.
STEP 3
In a large bowl, measure out the remaining burger ingredients. Add the mushroom mixture to the dry ingredients and combine together until it forms a very loose dough. Knead and turn in the bowl for 5 minutes. The dough should remain pretty wet.
STEP 4
Half fill a medium pan with just-boiled water and put a bamboo steamer on top. Alternatively, use an electric steamer. Divide the dough into 5 equal balls and then flatten them into patties. Doing your best to keep their disc shapes, wrap each patty in a layer of baking paper and then a layer of foil. Put in the steamer and cook for 1 hour.
STEP 5
Once steamed, rub with a little oil and put on a BBQ over white-hot coals or in a hot griddle pan. Flip after a few minutes, then serve in a toasted bun with a good dollop of kimchi mayo, the lettuce, tomato and a slice of vegan cheese.
