Tips

  • For the DIY Gochujang Paste, you can substitute miso paste with soy sauce and sugar.
  • When roasting sweet potatoes, ensure they are deeply carved to cook thoroughly.
  • The patties should be breaded and fried until golden brown for a crispy texture.
  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes in the Gochujang paste to your spice preference.
  • The slaw dressing adds a creamy and tangy element to the burger, balancing the rich patty and glaze.
  • Toast the burger buns for a better texture and warmth.
  • Layer the ingredients carefully to ensure each bite has all components of the burger.
  • Garnish with sesame seeds for added flavor and visual appeal.
  • Slice the burger in half to observe the layers and make it easier to eat.
  • Ensure the sweet potato and chickpea mixture is well combined and firm enough to form patties.
