Healthy burgers

Many people are concerned about health risks when consuming foods like burgers - be it beef or chicken, both meats have been fraught with problems over the years ( I don't think I need to spell out the problems).

But I find that eating burgers can be healthy if a smaller portion of meat protein is matched with a larger portion of veggies (like Onions, Lettuce, Tomato), that would make it healthier.

Those that are looking for really healthy stuff - we can all go vegan (just like my veggie burger, I just made yesterday).

Vegetarian Burgers (serves 5)
Ingrdients
1 large hard tou fu (tau kwah), mashed
5 fresh shitake mushrooms, chopped
1 large spanish red onion, chopped
1 carrot peeled, grated
1 stalk chinese parsley, chopped
1 egg beaten
2 heaped table spoons of potato starch

Method
mix all the above ingredients with a pinch of salt, pepper, sesame oil and light soya sauce.
pack it all together and form into 5 burger patties. If you wish to have some extra crunch you can add things like chestnut or water chestnut, or some nuts - like roasted groundnuts, pecans or almonds.

Place the burger patties on a baking tray and brush the patties with some olive oil before placing in the grill on high for 4 mins.

Serve on burger buns with freshly sliced tomatoes.
