Ingredients:

500 g. of ground chicken breast meat
200 g. of oyster mushrooms
half a head of garlic, peeled and finely minced
1 large onion, peeled and finely chopped
1/4 c. of bread crumbs
1 egg, beaten
1-1/2 tsp. of salt
1 tsp. of ground pepper
1 tbsp. of Kecap Manis (Indonesian sweet soy sauce)
1 tbsp. of vegetable oil

Method:

Line a shallow baking dish with non-stick baking paper. Pre-heat the oven to 175oC.

Mix all the ingredients together. Form into patties and arrange on the lined baking sheet. Cook in the oven for 10 to 15 minutes.

Yes..its so simple!!!

Why I choose oyster mushrooms?

Oyster mushrooms have a very delicate flavor that will not compete with the natural flavor of the meat. I suspect that is why the owner of Mushroom Burger chose oyster mushrooms.

Can the burgers be fried or grilled?

If you were using ground beef instead of ground chicken, yes, it’s possible. But the ground chicken and mushrooms mixture is not easy to form and the patties are really soft rather than firm. I doubt if they can withstand handling and turning on a grill or a frying pan.
