Bulgogi, which means ‘fire meat’ is often made with thin strips of meat, however, we’ve applied the delicious soy sauce-based glaze to our plant-based burgers to take them to the next level.
Ingredients
For the sticky burger glaze
- 3 tsp soy sauce
- 2 tsp soft brown sugar
- 1 tbsp ginger paste
- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 1 tbsp gochujang (or Sriracha)
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp crushed black pepper
- 1 pack Meatless Farm Quarter Pounders
For the tumeric pickled cucumber
- 75g caster sugar
- 150ml white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp tumeric
- 1/2 cucumber peeled into long ribbons
For the slaw
- 1/4 red cabbage thinly sliced
- 2 spring onions sliced (incl stalk)
- Juice of 1 lime plus zest
- 3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 inch fresh ginger grated
- 1 tbsp gochujang (or Sriracha)
To serve
- Vegan burger buns
Method
- Set your oven to a low heat for keeping the burgers warm at a later stage. Mix all burger glaze ingredients (bar ”burgers”) plus a couple of tbsp water in a small pan over a medium heat and simmer for 3-5 mins until sticky and thick. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Add all pickling ingredients into a small pan (bar the cucumber) and bring to the boil. Pop the cucumber ribbons into a large bowl, pour over the pickling liquid and set aside.
- Mix all slaw ingredients in a larger bowl and set aside.
- Brush a generous amount of sticky glaze all over each burger. Heat a non-stick pan over a medium heat and cook your Meatless Farm burgers for 6 mins ensuring to flip occasionally so that the sticky glaze caramelizes evenly all over.
- Remove your burgers from the pan and pop on an ovenproof plate in a low oven. Pop your burger buns in the same pan you have just cooked your burgers in to toast them in that sticky, sweet glaze.
- Now to assemble! Top the bottom burger bun with your sesame and ginger slaw, followed by a juicy Meatless Farm burger, pickled cucumber ribbons and top burger bun for the perfect Korean twist to your burger this Jan!
