Hi Friends!
It’s recipe time. I made these Asian Black Bean Burgers over the weekend and they were absolutely delicious. During my weekend prep, I almost always cooks a bag of black beans in my pressure cooker and freeze them to use during the week. I wanted to experiment with my usual black bean burgers and love Asian flavors so I decided to give them a shot!
Here’s the recipe I used:
Asian Black Bean Burgers
by Lindsay L
Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 18 min
Keywords: bake entree sandwich appetizer healthy low-sodium vegetarian vegan black beans quinoa
Ingredients (4-6 burgers)
- 2 cups black beans, cooked
- 1 c quinoa, cooked
- 2 Tbsp peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp thai chili sauce
- 2 tsp sriracha
- 1 T cilantro, minced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 – 2 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1/2 c carrots, shredded
- 1/4 c breadcrumbs
Instructions
1. Add one cup of black beans to a small bowl and smash.
2. Add the quinoa, pb, chili sauce, sriracha, cilantro, garlic, ginger and carrots and mix well.
3. Add the remaining cup of beans and the breadcrumbs and stir to combine.
4. Form mixture into 4-6 patties.
5. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes, flipping once.
I decided to serve mine on top of a big salad, with some of our favorite Newman’s Own Sesame Ginger dressing…but they would also be good on a bun.
Next time I have a party I’m going to make a slider-sized version!
Let’s chat: What’s your favorite flavor combo for a burger?
Enjoy!

I make black bean burgers from the Eat Clean Cookbook by Tosca Reno. I love the combo of PB, sunflower seeds and curry powder. These look great, my husband would love the extra chili kick!

perhaps these will be the game changer
Those look delicious! I would’ve never thought of make them with quinoa. The slider version is a great idea!

i like adding quinoa for more protein and it also helps them stick together!
Nice combo of flavors in this burger! I love any burger that has spice in it. Black bean burgers seem to be our go-to. But the combination of black bean, sweet potato and spices is what gets me!
Aparna B. @ Not A Leaf recently posted..My Weekend in Photos
yes…that is one of the best combos there is, for sure!
I’m def going to try this recipe this weekend! I also need to try making mine with quinoa because a lot of times when cooking, my bean burgers fall apart!
i’ve definitely found that quinoa helps mine stick together. that and chickpea flour
Oh boy, these sound great. The pb, the thai chili, so much yum!

i know, right?! and all in one burger!!! love
I love any burger that has a bit of a kick to it. These sound great! I think if I cooked them, I’d roast some peppers on the side as well. They’d go perfectly together!
Avery @ Southern Belle Living Well recently posted..That Oil Went Where…?
omg that sounds delish!
Wow this looks delis. Sans the chili sauce. Not a huge spicy fan =/ I love my burgers with bbq sauce though. I had it in college and never looked back
Emily @ FitMamaInTheCity recently posted..Weekly Workout Plan #1
you can definitely adjust for less spice!
Yummers! I like my burgers plain and simple…with a little BBQ sauce
Kierston recently posted..Make The Time!

These look absolutely delicious, I can’t wait to try!

Mmmm loving these burgers, definitely pinning to try in the near future. I just realized I don’t dislike black beans like I previously thought I did so helll yeahhh
Kammie @ Sensual Appeal recently posted..What’s your cooking personality?
same thing happened to me last year. i used to think i didn’t like black beans. now i eat them all the time!
These look great! My favorite combo for burgers is mushrooms and onions. I love to use ground turkey or ground beef, stuff them with sauteed onions and mushrooms and season with any sort of spice I can find. My all time favorite stuff burger: http://abetteryeartoabetterlife.com/2012/02/28/spinach-onion-artichoke-stuffed-burger/

love the idea of artichokes in a burger!
I love black bean burgers and these sound so good. I also love the idea of cooking black beans ahead of time and having them on hand–brilliant!
misszippy recently posted..Want to run with the legends?
oh girl, you have to try it. i cook a bag every weekend and then freeze in individual bags so i can just pull them out and defrost or toss in meals during the week. so easy!
our favorite burger flavor combo – we love lentil and sweet potato veggie based burgers

yummmm! me too!
Ohhh this is a recipe I THINK I can actually get my husband to have an open mind about — he loves spice but has always shied away from veggie burgers. BUT since I won a bet, he has to try them for me as soon as I get around to making them for him. And with the sriracha in here, I think he’ll LOVE IT. I just pinned this for future reference, thank you friend! yum!
Jess recently posted..Ruminations (#2 of…)
yay! feel free to add extra sriracha for good measure
These look great! I think my meat loving family may even give these a try!

OMG these look amazing girl! I love adding peanut butter to Asian dishes and that was just the perfect addition here!
the peanut butter was definitely key!
I am not a bean person but man that looks delish! I could take all the other stuff & use it with my extra lean ground turkey.

indeed you could!!
OMG- These look so YUM!!!
Thank you!
I love this because so many vegetarian burgers have southwestern flavors. This is a nice twist!
Carrie @ Season It Already! recently posted..Sending Back a Bottle of Wine
me too! it was something fun and different!
That looks so good. For me, I haven’t really tried any fancy burgers before. Now that I am trying to eat as healthy as possible and avoid processed foods, I am looking forward to trying new recipes such as this one.

Nice variation on a black bean burger! I have to admit that my favorite spicy veggie burger isn’t even my own, it’s store-bought: Trader Joe’s Vegetable Masala Burger. Sometimes I do make my own veggie burgers and stock up and freeze them, other times I let it be the easy store-bought meal from the freezer! And the TJ’s burgers are way less processed than some.
Mary@FitandFed recently posted..Potato Enchiladas Verdes
oooh those sound good!
These look delicious! I’m just wondering if they can be made ahead of time and frozen for later in the week? Thanks!!
Yum!! Always on the lookout for new bean or quinoa patties for lunches. I have a quinoa/sweet potato one in the current rotation, but I do love pulling out my bottle of Sriracha! I’m making these on Sunday.
yay! let me know what you think!
I made these on Sunday to use for lunches this week, and turned them into Asian Lettuce Wraps for my lunch today. They are delicious! Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.

I can’t wait to try this! What kind of thai chili sauce do you use? I’ve only been able to find sweet chili sauce. Is that okay?
yep that’s what i use!
