Equipment
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Skillet or frying pan
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw peanuts coarsely chopped
- 1 cup cooked brown rice
- 1 cup quinoa flakes
- 2 scallions thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion finely diced
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons white/mellow/shiro miso paste
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by coarsely chopping the raw peanuts. You can do this with a knife or pulse them a few times in a food processor. You want them to be in smaller pieces but not ground to a powder.
- In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely diced yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of white miso paste with 1/2 cup of boiling water. Stir until the miso is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked brown rice, quinoa flakes, chopped peanuts, scallions, sautéed onion and garlic, dried oregano, fresh thyme, and the dissolved miso mixture. Season with sea salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything until well combined.
- Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should be able to create around 8-10 patties depending on the size.
- In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil and heat over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the patties to the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Be gentle when flipping to avoid breaking them.
- Once cooked, remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm, and enjoy them as is, or pair them with your favorite dipping sauce!
