Hydrate Ingredients and Rest Overnight
In a small bowl add the TWP, Faba bean protein, methylcellulose HV, Transglutaminase TI, nutritional yeast flakes, salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, ground thyme, ground sage, MSG, ground mustard and hot sauce. Mix until combined.Add the water, mix until hydrated.Cover and allow it to hydrate overnight in the refrigerator.
-
Break Down Rested Mixture
The next day preheat the oil in a pot to 365°F-375°F.The mixture should be very firm. Break it up into bite sized pieces.In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment add the firm pieces of plant based ground chicken and beat on low until pea sized about 30 seconds.
-
Create Patties
Add in the pre-hydrated Burger Binder and marbling fat (which should be cut into pea sized pieces), mix until combined.Remove it from the bowl, weighing out 150 g portions (this should give you roughly 5 patties).Press the patties into the desired thickness. We like ½ -¾ inch in thickness.
-
Dredge Patties for Frying
Set up a breading station of flour, Batter Bind mixed with water, and panko bread crumbs, each in separate bowls.Place the patties in the flour and coat evenly.Shake off any remaining flour and dip them in the Batter Bind mixture.Gently remove and place in the bowl with the Panko bread crumbs.Toss them until evenly coated, then remove.
-
Fry Patties and Serve
Fry them in the oil immediately until golden brown and they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This ensures the Burger Binder is fully activated.Blot any excess oil off on paper towels and dust with salt to your personal preference.Serve on a bun with all your favorite toppings and condiments.
