    I love all of this but can we please normalize pronouncing gochujang correctly? I blame the white people in the food industry for making it ok to butcher the “jang” part—also OG transliteration that was meant to accommodate Euro-American speakers instead of transliterating Korean more holistically. Anyway, there are enough Korean food writers and food media producers that we should all know how to pronounce this ingredient these days. And I realize that I’m bringing this up on a Chicanx’s fabulous YouTube video, but I’m posting this in the hope that at least POC in the food industry support each other in normalizing proper pronunciation of the culinary lexicon in languages that are ethnicized in the US. All my love!!

    I find it fascinating that people who eat meat aren't at all concerned about the hormones being pumped into the animals they're consuming, but the "crazy chemicals and preservatives" in a veggie burger are just TOO MUCH! 

    Also, isn't anything that is mass produced, packaged, and frozen for long term use going to have some sort of preservative in it, whether it's vegetarian or not?

    This looks delicious! Thanks Rick, and I’m definitely going to use that mayo tip going forward. Red onions can also be calmed down by a good soak in ice water — 5-7 minutes.

    This looks fabulous, and I thank you, but I sure hope your tap water is filtered. I would use distilled water, which is not only pure but really allows for the taste of whatever is boiled in it.

    I think for me, the one thing I REALLY miss in any veggie wanna-be meat, especially with burgers,is the holy 80/20 meat/fat ratio, that nobody seems to be able to recreate without loosing a nice bite-through consistency

    Idea. Bilingual episodes. Kinda like the ones you do with Karla. But one person in Spanish the other in English. The camera guy was fun. Maybe a more experienced and less experienced person.

    Rick, I love you… Hate to carp, but if you're using Mayo, then IT CANNOT BE VEGAN!!! These are words from an omnivore…
    That said, I am definitely making this during this summer's final weeks..

    Hahaha! Those roasted veggies look good enough to eat just on their ownwith some of that quinoa! There are also a lot of good tips in this video – I'd never heard of adding salt and water to soften up the bite of onions; good to know. I also LOVE the idea of using somthing other than lettuce on the burger. Great video Rick!

    Okay, gonna try this. Girlfriend is pescitarian and you're right – most veggie burgers are bleh. I'll have to figure out how much gochujang to add in for just my burger though, she's not overly keen on spice.

    Another good binder for a veggie burger is bulgur, the fine grind used to make tabbouli. It would also replace the quinoa. No need to cook, just soak as you would for tabbouli.
