Homemade black bean burger (vegan, easy & cheap)

Preheat your oven to 150°C/300°F
Peel and finely slice and dice the onion, garlic, and ginger. Set aside for later.
Finely slice the red bell pepper and the mushrooms. Set aside for later.
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or with parchment paper.

Drain the chickpeas and black beans and rinse with cold water until the water runs clear. Pat dry with a clean towel, then add to a blender.
Pulse the chickpeas and beans a couple of times. You don't want it to be mushy, it can still have some texture!
Take the blade out of the blender, or add the beans/chickpeas to a mixing bowl. Set aside for later.

Heat up a little oil in a pan and sauté the onion, garlic, and ginger until soft.
Add in the bell pepper and mushrooms and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and turn off the heat.
Squeeze out as much liquid as you can, the moisture of the vegetables with make the burgers mushy.

Add the vegetables to the chickpeas/beans and mix together. Add in the sambal, and the 3 tablespoons of the teriyaki sauce and mix together. Taste the mixture and see if it needs any more seasoning.
Then add in the 150g of flour in batches. Mix one last time.

Generously flour your surface with flour and weigh around 170g per burger.
Form the burger patties by rolling them in the flour on the surface and then shaping them.

Heat up oil in a pan, in my video it seems like a lot of oil but honestly it wasn't that much.
Add the burger patties to the pan, make sure they have enough room so they don't stick together. You might need to do this in 2 batches (or use multiple pans).
Cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side, or until both sides are brown.
When the burgers are done, place them on the previously lined baking sheet and brush some teriyaki sauce on top of them.

Bake the burgers for 30 minutes, take the burgers out after 20 minutes and add the vegan cheese, then bake for the last 10 minutes.
If you don't use vegan cheese, just leave them in the oven for the full 30 minutes.

While the burgers are in the oven prepare your vegan wasabi mayo by simply combining the vegan mayo and the wasabi.
Also prepare the things you want to put on your burger, like tomato or lettuce.
Nutritional values are for 1 burger + bun + wasabi mayo + vegan cheese + all the toppings.
