5 tablespoons water -- plus more as needed

1/2 teaspoon vegetarian bouillon powder

1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce

extract, nuts, soft breadcrumbs and a pinch of salt and pepper (or to taste).

 

3. Cool, then form into 4 flat burgers about 1/2-inch thick and coat with dried

breadcrumbs. Pour a little oil in a frying pan, just enough to cover the base

thinly, heat, then put in the burgers and fry them until crisp. Turn them over

NOTES : These make a good supper dish, served in a soft " bap " or roll with

sliced tomato and onion. The European Bap is about 5-inch in diameter. It's not

the wonder-bread hamburger bun; similar to a fresh bakery bun that comes with

sesame or poppy seeds or are plain. The quantities can easily be multiplied up

to serve more people, or halved for one person.
