Instructions
Defrost two Beyond Burger patties the night before.
Preheat oven to 300F.
To prepare the slaw combine all slaw ingredients and using your hands massage the kale and carrots until softened. Allow to rest while you prepare everything else.
To make the Miso Candied Bacon, combine miso paste, maple syrup, rice vinegar, soy sauce and all spice. Stir to incorporate.
Place the vegan bacon on a lined baking sheet and coat with the miso maple mixture on both sides. Bake in pre-heated oven for about 10-15 minutes. The timing will depend on the vegan bacon you use.
Allow to cool while you prepare everything else.
To make the burger patties, mash with your hands the patties in a large bowl, so that it resembles ground beef. To that bowl add ginger paste, garlic, green onions, maple syrup, gochujang, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Using your hands combine that all until well distributed. Form into 2-4 patties, depending on the size you want your burgers to be. We did 2 patties.
Cook on a BBQ on high heat until golden brown and crispy on the outside.*
Right before they're finished cooking, add the buns to the grill to toast.
Build your burger by topping with vegan mayo, green leaf lettuce, bacon, cucumber and slaw.
Notes
*These burger patties can be delicate - we ended up cooking these on a cast iron pan on the grill.
