Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and sauté for one minute. Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor.
2. Add the tamari sauce, Sriracha sauce, lentils, eggs, salt and pepper to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is evenly distributed and there are no large pieces of mushroom remaining. The mixture should have some texture and should not be completely smooth.
3. Transfer the mixture to a mixing bowl and add the coconut flour, hempseeds and scallions. Mix well by hand until all the coconut flour is distributed and the mixture starts to come together. If the mixture is too wet, add a few more teaspoons of coconut flour.
4. Press and form the mixture into small patties by hand and set aside on a greased plate. Then, in a large skillet, heat some coconut oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully transfer the patties to the skillet and fry on each side for 2-4 minutes until golden brown. Once done, transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel.
5. While the veggie patties are frying, start preparing the salad. Boil and drain the soba noodles as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Then, toss the cucumber, tomatoes, lime juice, Sriracha sauce, sesame oil and cooked noodles with salt and pepper and set aside.
6. Serve the veggie patties on top of the soba noodle salad.
