Whats a Veggie Burger? I always thought Burger and Beef were one of the same?
Answers: A hamburger is beef. The name coming from the German city of Hamburg (so guess where frankfurters are from?). Anyways, burger, is the shortened word. There are burgers made from all of the meats (turkey, fish, pork etc..). The veggie burgers are made from vegetarian products and will/should not include any actual meat. Source(s):
A veggie burger does NOT taste like a hamburger. That is wishful thinking I'm afraid.
Hey look I got 4 thumbs down from pretend vegans pretending a veggie burger takes like a hamburger.
They're all mad at me because they found out they aren't really vegans. It is something that is shaped like a burger and put on a bun, but actually made of tofu (beans). They do this so that vegitarians can still have cookouts. That answer sucks.
A veggie burger is a mixture of mashed up veg (boiled carrots,peas, potatoes, fried onions and green beans) all patted into a burger shape, dipped in flour then egg then breadcrumbs and shallow fried until golden.
Have them in buns with ketchup!
Mmm.... A burger is technically beef. They call it a veggie burger because it's made to look like a hamburger. a veggie burger, is a burger patty that has no meat content. also called a soy burger a veggie burger is a patty made out of soy, mushrooms, potatoes or any number of veggies. It is shaped the same as a hambuger patty, and is seasoned to be somewhat similar to the flavor of a hamburger patty.. it is eaten on a hamburger bun.
It's what vegetarians eat instead of a meat hamburger..
Red Robin, TGI Fridays, CHillis, Dennys, applebees, Ruby Tuesdays, and even Burger king all have some form of vegetarian hamburger on their menu.. You should try one sometime, just for kicks! If you don't expect it to taste the same as real meat, you may like it! I think they're delicous!! A Beef Burger is made of Beef, but a Veggie burger is made of a meat substitute like Tofu and other veggies you should try them they are good and good for You!!!!

Edamame Veggie Burger
1/4 cup millet
1/2 cup cold water
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
1 medium carrot
1 large red radish
2 tablespoons finely grated, peeled, fresh ginger
1/2 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons mirin (See Cook's Note.)
1/8 teaspoon Asian chili paste, such as Sri Racha sauce
1 pound frozen blanched, peeled edamame (soybeans), thawed
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese-style bread crumbs)
2 large egg whites, beaten
Vegetable oil, for brushing
Heat the millet in a small dry saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid, over medium-high heat, cook, shaking occasionally, until the millet begins to "pop". Continue toasting the millet until the popping subsides, about 2 minutes, until it smells like freshly popped popcorn. Set aside to cool slightly.
Add the water and the 1/4 teaspoon of the salt to the saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Wrap the pan's lid tightly with a small kitchen towel and cover the saucepan. (Make sure the towel's edges are folded up well away from the heat.) Lower the heat to low and simmer covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from the heat (don't uncover) and set aside for 10 minutes. Fluff the millet with a fork and transfer to a large bowl.
Using a box grater, grate the carrot and radish into the bowl of millet. Add the ginger, garlic, lime juice, mirin, and chili paste and stir to combine.
Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt it generously. Add the edamame, cover, and return to a boil; cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain and immediately add to the bowl of millet mixture (to lightly warm the vegetables). Stir to combine and set aside to cool.
When cool, season the edamame mixture with the remaining 2 teaspoons salt. Transfer to a food processor and puree into a paste. Return the edamame to the bowl and stir in the panko and egg whites until incorporated.
Using your hands, form the edamame mixture into 8 patties about 3 inches in diameter. Place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until set.
Place a rack about 4 inches from the broiler element and preheat. Place the patties on a foil-lined baking sheet or broiler pan. Brush both sides of the patties lightly with oil and sprinkle with salt. Broil until the tops are lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and flip the patties with a spatula. Broil until lightly browned and hot, about 3 minutes more. Serve on grilled naan bread with sprouts, pickled ginger, and wasabi. (The burgers can also be grilled or Sauteed.) Well, yes, that's why the qualifier "veggie" is there, to differentiate it from a beef burger. There are also burgers made from other forms of meat, and they have that qualifier before it.
I have had good veggie burgers and bad veggie burgers. There are many types with various ingredients, and you just have to find one that you like best. My favorite is Amy's Texas Burger. It is like Hamburger--instead Ham(beef or any other meat ,fish,or Eggs) they prepare a mixed cooked vegetables,with a little vegetable flour(wheat or rice) make round plates and keep it in betwen the Bun ,raw vegetables like tomato,cucumber,lettuce,spices etc. The word "hamburger" was derived from Hamburger Germany. The town became popular for its sandwhiches which consisted of pieces of cooked portk on a role. Throughout the years pork costs went up and beef prices went down so people who migrated from Germany to the US began using beef instead. Finally, to accomodate the vegetarian population the veggie burger was developed which consisted of a collection of veggies including soy, rice, peppers, olives, and mushrooms.
