INSTRUCTIONS

1️⃣ Prepare the Patties

🔹 For Meat-Based Patties:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, Kam Heong sauce, salt, breadcrumbs, and egg.
  2. Mix by hand until just combined—don’t overmix, or the patties will be dense!

🔹 For Plant-Based Patties:

  1. In a large bowl or food processor, combine mashed beans, Kam Heong sauce, salt, breadcrumbs, mushrooms, cabbage, green onions, carrot, and flax egg.
  2. Pulse or mash until smooth and well-mixed.

2️⃣ Shape & Chill

  1. Divide the mixture into 4 thick patties (or 6 thin patties for smash burgers).
  2. Place on a wax paper or foil-lined baking sheet.
  3. Press a small dent in the center of each patty (this prevents puffing up during cooking).
  4. Chill for at least 15 minutes—this helps them hold their shape!

3️⃣ Cook the Patties

🔥 For Thick Patties: Grill or pan-fry for 3-4 minutes per side until cooked through.
🔥 For Thin Patties (Smash Burgers): Cook on a griddle for 2 minutes per side until crispy.
🔥 For Plant-Based Patties: Cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side until browned and firm.
