Nutritional & Energetic Notes
​
These burgers are ideal for autumn and winter. This is because we are doing a 'double cooking' which energetically can be very nourishing for the colder weather. So what is the 'double cooking'? We are first cooking rice and vegetables separately, we put them together to make the burgers and we cook them again together.
​
If we use short grain rice, then we are also supporting our energy in the colder months.
​
You could also use millet instead of rice. Millet really sticks together once cold. So you would form the patties when still slightly warm and leave them ready to be cooked the next day. Make sure you press well when making the patties so that they don't come apart when frying.
