Homemade Soy Burger Anyone?
Long long time ago in England, I had tasted Linda McCartney’s soy burger, and I absulutely loved it. They didn’t come cheap, and was more expensive than the meat burgers, but that was one of the few indulgence I allowed myself.
A week ago, Daddy used his credit card points to claim some voucher, and bought a high end Philip blender for me during the Harvey Norman sale.
Since then, I’d made 10 cereal milk (å榖奶) and also soy bean milk (豆奶) a couple of times at home. The first time I made soy bean milk, we used the pulp which is called okara as fertiliser. On my 2nd attempt which was on Saturday, I kept the okara, with the intention of making soy burger with it.
For lunch today, that was what I did. Here is what I’d used (in estimation):
1) a cup of okara
2) one big onion diced
3) less than half a cup of corn kernels (freshly scraped out from a cob)
4) a stalk of spring onin diced
5) a stalk of coriander diced
6) a lightly beaten egg
7) some corn flour and flour to made the patty less runny
Mix them all up in a bowl. Add soya sauce, salt and pepper to taste.
Add extra flour a little at a time so that the patties can be formed (but expect it to be a bit on the soft side).
Fry the patties in a pan. (The 1st one Jelly actually deep fried it like an Indian wadai, and after that I had to take over the frying)
And viola, our lunch.
It was quite good, probably as delicious as Linda McCartney’s. *ahem*
Lunch was served with a cup of home made soy milk.
(The girls had left over pizzas instead, since they are not keen on any meat burgers, I didn’t think they will like the soy burger, what more, it was my first attempt. However, I will definitely feed them this the next round).
Btw, I have been getting contradicting information about soya bean. Is it good, is it bad? Does it give you health benefits, or actually harms you? I really don’t know. As I like the taste, I’ll continue to make them.
Agnes, how to make soya bean milk?? Any recipe to share.
yeah nobody knows…best to be taken in moderation i guess..and preferably organic! will give the soy burger a try one of these days!
eh what’s okara?
nice recipe there.. now I know what to do with the okara.. 🙂 BTW, I have also heard on the contradicting information on soya bean, I believe everything that is overloaded or over eaten is bad right… so, be prudent lor… 🙂
a blender can make soy drink? tau cheong shui?
im getting hungry here man!
Your patties look yummy…makes me drool!! I guess we have to take everything in moderation? 😉
Myth says soy bean no good for boys, girls okay. Something abt estrogen alike content. Not too sure tho.
I didnt know blender can be used to make soybean drinks. We paid like Rm200 last time to buy a special machine to do it… obviously now sitting at one corner collecting dust. But I love soybean.. but lately it leaves a funny taste in my mouth after I consume. Sian!
oh! so far, i just used my high power commercial blender for smoothie. gotta increase its productivity now 🙂
btw, i hope the link below will give more infor for those concerned on soy danger.

I tried this out too..! Except I sub the corn for egplant and added some rosemary and basil. YUMMY! The product tastes like egg omelette, but enriched by soy. It’s really nice. Thanks AGAIN for the recipe. Feels great to make full use of the bean and the milk.
