The trick is to bake canned black beans in the oven to dehydrate them before chopping them and incorporating them into a vegetarian patty flavored with onions, chiles, chipotle peppers, and cotija cheese. cashews add more texture. They're delicious, even if you aren't normally a veggie-burger person.

I don't think I can adequately express how much I like that actual food preparation starts within 15 seconds of hitting play, instead of one to three minutes of a man standing in front of a camera talking.

the amount of knowledge kenji drops during his videos about random things like the lye in soap or the simulation, impressive and so helpful

I recently had a heart attack and have to modify my diet. I'm a butter beef deep fry loving kinda girl but unfortunately can no longer eat that way. Today I made these burgers out of desperation. The last attempt at veggie burgers resulted in a mushy mess but this recipe...chefs kiss. So easy to make. I did pinto and chic pea beans as I didn't have black. These are amazing. The texture is unbelievable. The flavor is neutral so you can adjust any flavorings you prefer... Yall... These are amazing.

I like this guy’s style - no idle talk, he’s all about what he’s doing and he’s a veritable cooking encyclopedia, full of suggestions and helpful hints. The camera is on what he’s doing, not him. Other YT cooks would do well to take lessons from him.

I didn't know until now that I've been waiting my whole life for shabu cam

Creating a computer simulator to optimize your onion dicing is exactly the kind of devotion to food which made me sub to this channel. Absolutely breathtaking. Bravo Kenji.

It’s called choices and it’s a good thing that there are people to accommodate a variety of people with different needs and cooking skills.

I just made some of these today. Almost the same ingredients. I actually did 1/2 lentils, walnuts instead of cashews and I added a 1/4 cup of ground flax. Nice nutty flavor and almost creates a meat fat quality in the patty. Anyway, lots of variations. I pan fried covered, flipped, added cheese, covered and done. Char them a little. Awesome, awesome! Peace. Enjoyed your video!

In addition to counting the beans to limit fartiness, it's also essential to crumble the cotija by hand into the burgers. Don't use a knife; you definitely don't want to cut the cheese.

It’s crazy how efficient you are in the kitchen. Especially considering you’re focusing on filming and on top of commentary. You’re one of a kind.

As an omnivore, I can confirm that this recipe makes for a really awesome black bean burger. I don’t eat meat on Fridays during lent, so I made this mixture on a Thursday night to have the next day. I found myself enjoying it so much that I kept making them for myself throughout the following week even when I could eat meat. If I’m being honest, for me, a meal without meat is kind of unsatisfying. These things are a definite exception to that. Give them a try

14:01 Love how the beans leave a beautiful print on the sheet pan.
-
That technique to dry the beans before making the patties is so simple but so genius
-
I've been making these for years, ever since I saw your recipe on Serious Eats. They are outstanding! Being a vegetarian, they're perfect but my meat-eating friends like them too. So happy you included them here, thanks Kenji!

I made these burgers for my family and they loved them. We are on a vegan path, so I substituted the eggs for flaxseed and egg replacer, and they can out great. I also used the bag of dried black beans we had on hand and cooked them a day ahead. Thanks again for sharing this recipe.

Kenji makes cooking look fun. Love the tips and all of the info he throws out there. His unpretentious approach is a breath of fresh air as he encourages his viewers to feel free to alter recipes and adjust them to your liking. A sense of humor to boot 👍🏼

Kenji has so much wholesome dad energy in this video - the dinosaur references, the 240 joke, “guys gals and nonbinary pals”.... 🥺🥺🥺 we appreciate you
-
My favorite part is when he tells us his daughter’s 3 favorites dinosaurs. Super heart warming content right there ❤️
-
Seeing cans in the sink with the lids up, like when Kenji rinsed the black bean cans, always makes me cringe because I once cut my hand really badly doing that. Now, I always make sure to push the lids down into the can. I highly recommend this simple practice in hopes that it saves someone some pain.

Me: oh a nice black bean burger recipe from Kenji Kenji: so my buddy coded a 3d mathematical model of an onion
