Nasty Vegan Burger?

Question

Anybody have some tips on making this soy burger taste better? Has tons of protien in it for the calories, but it's so disgusting. How can i season it to make it better?

Answer 1

Soy cheese, ketchup, mustard, relish, bbq sauce, mushrooms, cucumbers, tomato...anything.  Just experiment around.

I don't really eat them.  I like the chick'n patties better.

Perhaps you should try a different brand.  Also you will get used to it after you eat a few.  It takes a little time to adjust to new foods.

Answer 2

I really like Amy's brand veggie burgers :] they don't really need anything but a bun! But With more traditional brands like Boca and Morningstar, I find that cooking them on the stove in some olive oil in a covered skillet really makes them taste better (it locks in the mositure or something). And I usually eat them with ground red pepper and mayonaisse :P yum!

Answer 3

chop up veggies and add it 2 the soy burger :)

Answer 4

What brand? Im not fond of some brands, but Boca and Morningstar are pretty good. as far as seasoning, you can use pretty much anything. I like experimenting with different spices when Im cooking.

Answer 5

I don’t think ANYTHING on earth could make a soy burger taste better!

If you want a scrumptious vegan burger make it with lentils, beans or chickpeas instead:

If you REALLY must have a soy burger, try marinating it in chilli, ginger, garlic, honey and soy sauce first.

Answer 6

We had trouble cooking the veggie burgers in the restaurant I was working in trying to grill them or heat them on the flat top. They came out great by deep-frying them.

Definitely try different brands.  Ours had basil and garlic in them and they were actually pretty good. They were mostly rice and grains I think.  I'd steer clear of any fake burger that tries to taste like beef.    

Also try cooking portabella mushrooms for your fake burgers.  They can taste a lot like beef esp if you marinate them in Italian dressing.

Answer 7

Add ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, or whatever you like.

Answer 8

i like morningstar burgers...have you tried those?

Answer 9

Chop it up and add meat.
