Aduki Bean & Teriyaki Burgers

Ingredients

• 400 g tinned aduki beans
• 200 g cooked short-grain rice
• 4 tbsp teriyaki sauce
• 20 g fresh ginger
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds
• 4 burger buns
• 1 baby gem lettuce
• 2 tbsp sunflower oil

Method

1. 1

   Drain and rinse the aduki beans. Mash roughly in a bowl, leaving some whole for texture. Grate the ginger finely.

2. 2

   Combine the mashed beans, cooked rice, ginger, 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce and 1 tbsp sesame seeds. Mix well and season. The mixture will be sticky.

3. 3

   With damp hands, shape into 4 patties. Chill for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for 4 minutes per side. Brush each patty with the remaining teriyaki sauce and scatter over the remaining sesame seeds. Cook for 1 minute more.

5. 5

   Toast the buns and separate the baby gem leaves. Build the burgers with lettuce leaves for crunch and serve immediately.
