Vegan Korean BBQ Burger
When I received a jar of Korean chili paste from @chillibellasg, this is the 1st recipe idea that popped to my mind. I was even more thrilled when @chillibellasg confirmed that her chili paste is vegan-friendly. The only few questions are: how do I include her chili into my burgers and what kinda vegan patties would I create.
The answers to that are, kimchi ketchup and Beyond Meat, respectively! Yes, kimchi ketchup! I literally jumped up with excitement when I thought I had created something extraordinary. To my disappointment, I am not the 1st. As I researched more, kimchi ketchup seems to be a thing already. I might be living under a rock all this time...
Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods seems to take this world by storm with their 100% plant-based products. If you still do not have a chance to try them, please do. It tastes nothing like those rubbery fake meat; it tastes just like meat. Even my daughters are surprised. They even quoted that they can become vegan if they can eat this everyday. Yes, it is unreal!
In closing, I am pissed when 100% plant-based burgers contain dairy cheese, if you know what I mean. Fast Food chains and food vendors everywhere are misusing the term "plant-based", quite sadly. Don't you agree?

Prepare the kimchi ketchup.
Blitz kimchi, ketchup, chili paste and maple syrup in a blender until smooth.
Transfer into a bowl.
Add nori flakes, lemon zest and juice.
Mix until well combined.
Taste and adjust for sweetness and spiciness.
Set aside in the fridge until ready to use. - 3
Prepare the Korean bbq sauce.
In a bowl, add maple syrup, soy sauce, wine, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, mushroom powder and gochugaru.
Mix until well combined.
Add in scallion.
Set aside until ready to use. - 4
Prepare the burger.
In a skillet over medium heat, drizzle some sesame oil.
Once the oil is heated up, add in 2 patties.
Add in the crushed garlic, 1/2" ginger and 1 stalk of scallion.
*You can crush them with a back of a knife.* - 5
Brush the patties with the bbq sauce.
Cook until the bottom is crispy brown.
Flip and brush the patties with some more bbq sauce.
Baste the patties with all the liquid.
Cook until the bottom is crispy brown.
Remove from heat and set aside on a plate with all the crushed aromatics. - 6
Brush the patties again with more bbq sauce.
Repeat the steps for the remaining patties.
*By cooking the patties in batches will prevent overcrowding of the skillet, which will create steam rather than searing and cooking.*
Slice the mushroom lengthwise into 4 slices.
You should have a total of 8 slices. - 7
In the same skillet, drizzle some sesame oil.
Place in the mushroom slices.
Again, you can do this in batches.
Brush the mushrooms with bbq sauce.
Cook until the bottom is lightly caramelized.
Flip and brush with more bbq sauce. - 8
Slice burger buns into 3 tiers.
Toast the buns in the same skillet.
Once all the patties and mushrooms have been cooked, buns have been toasted, in the same skillet, pour in the remaining bbq sauce.
Deglaze and reduce slightly until thick consistency. It should coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and transfer into a bowl. - 9
Assemble the burger.
Smear kimchi ketchup on the bottom buns.
Add some kimchi over the top.
Place the patties over the kimchi and drizzle some reduced bbq sauce over the top.
Scatter some scallions. - 10
Add on the 2nd tiers and smear on some more kimchi ketchup.
Followed by 2 slices of mushrooms each.
Drizzle some reduced bbq sauce over the top and some scallions.
Close the top of the burger buns.
Serve immediately.

Grillable Veggie Burger Grillable Veggie Burger
When I am at a cookout, I sometimes find myself with a plate of potato chips and carrot sticks. This bothers me for a couple of reasons, 1) I am hungry and 2) people think that being plant-strong is no fun. Now I can bring these veggie burgers to the party, and be super happy! Note: bring extras because the omnivores will want them too! Elaine Fujimura -
Vegan Jackfruit BBQ Vegan Jackfruit BBQ
In the mood for BBQ but don't have the time/energy to slow cook that pork shoulder to a perfect, pull-able tenderness? Why not use this delicious alternative in the form of the newest vegan sensation?I will preface this recipe by saying that I am a meat eater and to me, jackfruit is not a taste substitute for the actual pulled pork in traditional BBQ, but that is what I really love about it. I love vegan meals that shine on their own and don't try to be cheap imitations of meat that only halfway work.Jackfruit is very tart on its own, but when treated with care, it pairs perfectly with BBQ sauce and you wind up with a sweet, tangy, and smoky flavour that also bears a hint of fruitiness that is the perfect summer meal treat. The best part? Cooking a pork shoulder can take hours. Cooking up a batch of pull-able jackfruit takes about 30 minutes.For this recipe, you can use the same kind of BBQ sauce that you would use on your normal BBQ, but in a future recipe, I will give the recipe for my homemade BBQ sauce!

Veg Mexican Burger Veg Mexican Burger
#HFFMonsoon_specialMexican Burger is basically a vegetarian burger made using red beans (rajma), sweet potatoes and sweet corn. Some added condiments like garlic powder and smoked paprika give it a lovely flavour. In Mumbai, nowadays we get a lot of varieties of burgers. Mexican Burger too is one such available here. You can find some crispy nacho chips added in this burger, which I too chose to go alongwith, as it gives this burger an added flavour and crunch.Garlic, cumin, beans, salsa, avocados are some ingredients used in Mexican cooking on a large scale. I have used these ingredients to prepare a burger. Just that I have used some sweet potatoes in this patty, as they impart a slight sweetness to the burger patty and balance the taste of the beans. Again, as I usually do, I have added some chopped mangoes to the guac, though you may choose to add some frozen mango puree too.Other option I would like to suggest is that if you aren’t able to get an avocado, try using a hung curd dip by adding some roasted cumin powder, onions, grated garlic, chilli flakes/powder, salt and coriander leaves, as per the measurements mentioned for the guacamole. Again some grated cabbage and carrots to can be added to this dip. In case you decide to go along with this dip, you can simply add the diced mango to the salsa!
