Mean Green Edamame Soy Burger. With Spicy Slaw!

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Sep 25, 2019 · published: Jul 29, 2009 · About 4 minutes to read this article. 6 Comments

Confession, I'm bored with black bean veggie burgers. And tofu burgers don't really excite my palate. How do I get a veggie burger that combines the healthy protein and nutrients of soy with the moist tender texture of a bean burger? With a furrowed brow I head into the kitchen to solve my bean burger dilemma. In a quicker then expected time my recipe came together. The result: my Mean Green Edamame Soy Burgers with a Spicy Slaw. Delicious! Thick green soy bean and fried rice burgers are moist and full of Asian flavor. Add some spicy-sweet crunchy slaw and I am in veggie burger heaven. Who says a vegan burger can't be over-the-top fantastic? Click ahead for the full burger recipe and make all your friends green with envy...


Mean and Green. This healthy soy burger combines a healthy edamame rice burger with a zesty spicy slaw salad. Add in a few tangy marinated heirloom tomatoes and a dab of Dijon and your burger is served! Don't forget the thick slice of red onion. You can use any type of bun you'd like. This burger is hearty enough for a grill or perfect for a stove-top saute pan. It only takes a few minutes to brown on both sides. This is a must try for all the greenies, veggies, vegans and edamame lovers out there. Take these patties to your next BBQ party and all your carnivore friends will be green with envy!!!
