I used oatmeal instead of bread, which gave this meal a more meaty feel. Also, instead of oyster sauce, I substituted with hot sauce, which really gave it a nice flavor! Tasty!
Very good! I used steak sauce instead of oyster sauce like someone suggested. It did fall apart so next time I'm going to try chopping up the mushrooms. The larger slices seemed to be what made it fall apart.
These are really flavorful and delicious. I used olive oil instead of cooking spray and found that along with hand shaping the burgers it helped keep them together. A real winner.
I was pleasantly surprised with this! I read other reviews first and IF you do make these changes: -Chop the mushrooms -Use 2 eggs -Fry in 2-3 tbsps of oil They will act (and even look) like hamburger meat. Awesome.
I recently became a vegetarian and I must say this is one of my favorite veggie burger recipes. On adding oatmeal the texture did in fact become meat like very tasty. I used soy instead of oyster sauce. I also baked it for 20 minutes (don't have cooking spray)
This was a great recipe because it allows for great variation as well as lots of veggies! I also love how it's relatively low in calories and fat. It tasted wonderful and I would definitely make it again.
I have thrown away all my other veggie burger recipes (with beans lentils garbanzos etc.) and will only make this recipe. I added 1 cup of oatmeal and sprinkled on some ground flaxseed which really binded it together well. Tastes like a real hamburger!
This was an incredible alternative to meat burgers. Mine fell apart when I tried to cook them in patties but the made a grat filling for pita!
I let the mixture cool in the fridge for an hour after I added the egg to increase cohesiveness. This worked and the burgers stuck together much better than if I'd tried to form them right away. However the still needed to be handled with care. I fried them over low heat on the largest burner. We don't eat oysters so I used 1 TB each of Worshire sauce and soy sauce. I also used oatmeal instead of bread crumbs (instant). The burgers came out very meaty and flavorful. Will definitely make these again!
The flavor of this is something I really enjoyed however it didn't stay together. I'll have to play with it some more since it's a rather decent base product.
