So I made mushroom patty today!!!

Recipe from: http://americanfood.about.com/od/vegetarian/r/Mushroom_Burger.htm

I edited the recipe a little since there isn't enough mushrooms at home.

Makes 8 average-sized patties.

Ingredients

• 450g of mushrooms roughly chopped (250g portobello, 200g shiitake)
• 50g rolled oats
• 20g shredded cheese
• Breadcrumbs (I used 2 slices of bread, and made them to panko - dry bread crumbs!)
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 tsp oregano (I used slightly lesser than this bc the smell of oregano was quite strong)
• Pinch of salt
• Pepper
• 2 eggs

Method

1. Saute mushrooms.
2. In a separate bowl, add in oats, cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper eggs.
3. Mix well and leave them for 15 minutes for it to sit.
4. Divide to 8 equal portions.
5. Fry in pan until golden brown.

Anyway, it looks darker than in the picture, since this was filtered of one of the layers of instagram, hahahaha. I made flatter patties for the next 4 though. Didn't take a picture. Haha. Bc my dad said they need to be flatter so they'd be fried evenly.

So I took around 3 hours from start to finish. HAHAHA. I took a long time chopping the mushrooms. Asked my dad if there's any tips for faster speed of chopping, my mom says it comes with practise. Lol. Wonder if chopped mushrooms are available in the market. Such a chore to chop them. Lol.

After that, my dad helped to blend the shiitake. Bc I didn't want to chop anymore, hahahahaha. It turned a little mushy. My dad helped to fry the patty for me too. Lol.

I used the blender to blend my breadcrumbs too! Before I microwaved them.
The recipe I use for my panko is this: https://cookpad.com/us/recipes/150346-how-to-make-panko-fluffy-crunchy
They became super fine!! Unlike the one before when I manually grated them. I guess manually grated panko tastes better for fried food? Since you're eating that layer which is fried.

Next time I think I'd try without the egg. See if it still binds or not. And probably forego the cheese. I couldn't taste the cheese, lol.

I need to get more mushrooms so I can eat more next time. It's not enough. LOL.

I think I know why things like burgers cost more? Like in restaurants.
Bc they are hard work!!
