    Keep those burgers juicy

    Place raw patties on a plate or tray, and cover and freeze or refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to keep them together and to lock in moisture.

      Directions

      01

      Into food processor, place 1/4 of prepped shrimp and blend to a fine, ground paste. Add remaining shrimp, and pulse a few times to dice and combine, scraping down sides of bowl, if necessary. Place shrimp into medium-sized mixing bowl and add garlic, gingerroot, green onion, egg white, panko crumbs, and black sesame seeds (if using). Mix to combine.

      02

      Divide ground shrimp into 4 portions and, with your hands, form into patties. Refrigerate or freeze for approximately 15 to 30 minutes.

      03

      While patties are in fridge, use mandoline to thinly slice radishes. Place sliced radishes in small glass bowl, and top with lime juice. Let sit for 20 minutes, and drain before using.

      04

      In another small bowl, combine bean sprouts, chopped pea shoots, and cilantro. Toss with rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, and coconut sugar.

      05

      Over medium heat, pan-fry patties for 4 minutes on each side, or until pink all the way through. Serve on bun (or rice) and top with pickled radishes, bean sprout slaw, sliced mango, and your choice of condiments or creamy dressing (such as miso yogurt for great umami flavour).

      Breakfast: Sweet Potato and Spinach Egg Bites

      Egg bites are a delicious and convenient way to get some protein in the mornings. These ones get an extra nutrition boost with antioxidant-rich sweet potato and spinach. Using grated sweet potato ensures all of the ingredients cook evenly during the baking time. Once you’ve made these—and tasted their goodness—they’ll become an easy addition to your breakfast repertoire. Reheat and repeat While these egg bites go together in a minute, you can also make them ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and reheat when you’re ready to eat them. Five minutes in the air fryer on the reheat setting at 325 F (160 C) will do it nicely. Or place them on a baking sheet and heat under the broiler for about 2 minutes.
