Tonight I made my own burger but a chicken version. I added the diced apples (I shredded mine instead) but not the chutney. Voila, my giant chicken burger. It was so filling! And very yummy :)

I prepared everything the night before so that tonight I just needed to season and shape them. Saves time!

Shaping them

And after baking them. Grilling would look nicer eh :)

Here’s the recipe

Chicken Burger –  adapted from Oprah

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
• 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
• chopped garlic
• 2 Granny Smith apples , peeled and diced
• 1/8 cup canola oil
• Minced chicken breast — I will update the quantity used soon.
• 2 Tbsp. salt
• 1Tbsp. black pepper
• Canola oil
• 2 tsp. Tabasco sauce
• 1 lemon, juiced and grated zest
• 1/2 bunch parsley , finely chopped

Method

1. Sauté the scallions, celery, carrots and apples in the canola oil until tender. Let cool.
2. Place the minced in a large mixing bowl. Add sautéed items and the remaining ingredients. Shape into round burgers. Refrigerate for 2 hours. I prepared mine the previous night.
3. Season the burgers with salt and pepper. Place on a preheated, lightly oiled grill. Grill each side for 7 minutes until meat is thoroughly cooked. Let sit for 5 minutes. If you don’t have a grill, place them into the oven and bake for about 35 mins or until cooked.
4. Serve with your favorite toasted bread, pita or hamburger roll.

I ate mine wrapped in a big lettuce. I loved it!  These tofu burger cakes are not only healthy and delicious, but they are also quick and easy to prepare!

Well I had already chopped all the ingredients since yesterday – froze half of them because I made too much even with only 2 tau kwa tofu.  Tonight I only had to combine all the ingredients together and mold them into nice round burgers.

Ingredients

• 2 Tau Kwa Tofu (the hard ones)
• 1 green onion chopped
• 2 cloves garlic chopped
• 1 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup frozen corn
• Some flour
• Breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper

Method

1. Combine all the ingredients together except the breadcrumbs
2. Mold into round burgers and coat with breadcrumbs
3. Bake or pan-fry the burger (you can pan-fry first to brown them before baking them)

Tomorrow night I am making pumpkin-filled wonton. I’ve already boiled and mashed the pumpkins. So tomorrow I will just spice it up a little.
