Teriyaki Portobello Burger
The Moth Cafe's Teriyaki Portobello Mushroom Burger is a super flavourful and easy to make burger that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Servings: 4 Burgers
Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1 oz lemon juice
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp minced ginger
- dash sesame oil (or your preference)
For The Burger
- 4 Portobello Mushrooms
- 4 Kaiser Buns
- 4 tbsp Plant-based Mayo
- 4 small handfulls Spinach
- 1 Red Bell Pepper Sliced
- 1/2 Red Onion Sliced
- 2 Avocados mashed
- 4 tbsp Plant-based Cream Cheese
Instructions
- Combine all the ingredients for the teriyaki sauce in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. (This will make approximately 750ml of sauce)
- Cut the portobello mushroom into 1 inch wide strips
- In a pan, heat oil of choice over medium heat. Add the portobello strips and sauté until slightly tender.
- Add enough teriyaki sauce to thinly coat the sauce pan. Allow for sauce to caramelize and mushroom to feel tender and soft (but still bouncy). Make sure to flip/stir so that all sides of the mushroom get cooked in the sauce.
- Once the sauce caramelizes and the mushrooms are nice and brown, remove from the heat and set aside.
- To assemble the burger, spread a thin layer of vegan mayo on each bun, then cream cheese on the top half and mashed avocado on the bottom. Add the spinach, red pepper and red onion to the cream cheese side, and mushrooms to the avocado side.
- Enjoy immediately!
