These patties can also be pre-cooked, then gently warmed as needed.
For the noodles & sauce:
 |
2 Tbsp. Navitas Naturals Wakame Flakes |
|
1/4 Cup Navitas Naturals Sprouted Chia Powder |
|
1 tbsp. Navitas Naturals Palm Sugar |
| 15 oz cooked black beans (unsalted) | |
| 1¼ cup cooked brown rice | |
| 4 oz extra firm tofu, minced or crumbled fine | |
| ¼ cup nutritional yeast | |
| ½ tsp dried oregano | |
| 1 stalk celery, minced | |
| 1 carrot, minced | |
| ½ cup minced yellow onion | |
| 3 Tbsp organic soy sauce or Nama Shoyu |
Soak the wakame flakes in ½ cup warm water for about 20 minutes or until soft. Drain and set aside.
With a potato masher or the back of a fork, mash the black beans in a large bowl into a chunky puree. Mix in the remaining ingredients, one at a time. (Alternately, pulse ingredients together in a food processor). Form into 8-10 patties and refrigerate for about an hour.
Patties may be brushed with oil (coconut oil works well) and placed on a grill, or place into a well greased frying pan and cooked over low heat for several minutes on each side. Makes 8-10.
