FAQ
Why do my veggie burgers fall apart?
If your veggie burgers are falling apart, that means you need to add some type of a binder, to hold them together.
Here are some tips, you can try:
- You can add flax egg.
- Chia egg might work as well.
- You can add oats soaked in water, they will create such a delicious consistency.
- You can cook flour with water until a thick consistency and add it to the pattie mixture.
These were some tips to make your burgers or patties hold together.
I love to add flax egg because it is a quick, easy and simple alternative. For the fax egg, you will need to combine 1 tbsp of flax meal with 4 tbsp of water and let it sit for 5 minutes. The consistency will be thicker and jelly-like.
With the chia egg, the instructions are quite the same!
Soaked oats are slightly different. Yes, they can hold the pattie together, but they will add a specific consistency. Simply soak the oats in the boiling water for about 5-10 minutes and you can add this mixture to the patties.
Lastly, you can cook the flour and add it to the patties. This hack is very simple and effective!
How do I use dried chickpeas instead of canned?
To use dried chickpeas instead of canned you will need to do a few steps.
The first one is to soak them overnight in the water. The chickpeas will become tender and easier to cook. Don't forget to rinse them the next day.
The next day simply adds rinsed chickpeas into the large pot and cover them with clear water. Cook them for about 45 minutes or until soft.
