Black Bean Lentil Burgers
Adapted from Jeff Novick
Yields 6 patties

The Ingredients

1.5 cup cooked lentils (I used canned ones)
1.5 cup cooked black beans
1/2 cup cooked and cooled brown rice
1/2 cup instant dry oats
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup diced onion
2 tsp smoked paprika

How to

1- Preheat oven to 200C. Mash all the ingredients together except onion until you're able to form the mixture into patties. The mixture should still be a little chunky. You can also use a food processor but be careful not to over process as the patties will lose their texture.
2- Fold in the onion and form the mixture into 6 patties and place them on a prepared cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for around 30 minutes. Serve however you like but for the record, I think these taste really nice with some sweet onion jam and wholegrain mustard.

SO EXCITED FOR THIS ONE!


This veganised omurice turned out better than expected. It's low in fat yet still really tasty (: AND it looks legit. Traditionally the omelette is filled with tomato ketchup flavoured fried rice, but I decided to make pilaf style rice so as to skip the frying process (: The omelette recipe is adapted from fatfreevegan's blog! Black salt is used to give the omelette and eggy taste, and it can be found in Indian grocery stores. For those living in Singapore, I bought the black salt at Mustafa Centre.

I really love how this vegan fried rice tastes :) Fried rice is such an easy dish to whip up with whatever you have in your fridge. For this japanese-y fried rice, I wanted to add mirin but I ran out, [or at least I thought I did :-( ] and I wanted to add japanese chili powder over but I had apparently used it up too. I'm obsessed with the stuff, and spicy food in general. 

Should have made a larger batch dammit. You can actually make the paste and keep it in the fridge until you want to bake up the fishcakes ^^ If you're curious to how exactly I made FISHcakes without the most obvious ingredient, fish, I used sweet potato and butter beans, which don't sound very Thai but I promise you won't taste it. Unless you use really sweet, sweet potatoes and have a very sensitive palette????? You certainly can't see the sweet potato and beans when they're all blended up with the other ingredients. Don't be hating and comment stuff like "CHEAT MY FEELINGS THOSE ARE POTATO BEAN CAKES" thankyouverymuch.
