directions

  • Toast the pecans in a dry frying pan over a low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until slightly browned but not burned. Grind in a blender or food processor or chop finely.
  • Chop the onion and garlic. Saute in vegetable stock or until softened and golden.
  • When the onions are ready, add the other vegetables and cook for a further 10-15 minutes until everything is tender, adding a little water if necessary to prevent sticking.
  • Add the hoisin sauce, mix well and continue to cook until the sauce is thick.
  • Place the vegetable mixture in a blender along with the cooked rice, and pulse a few times to blend things together, leaving some pieces of vegetables whole. Mix in the nuts and breadcrumbs.
  • If the mixture does not want to hold, mix in some potato flakes, instant mashed potato or more breadcrumbs to help bind it.
  • If possible, leave in the refrigerator to firm up for 30 minutes - it will keep there for a few days.
  • To cook them, fry or bake.

  1. I have been meaning to rate these for a while. My entire family really enjoyed these - we love anything with hoisin sauce. I used brown rice and added soy flour instead of potato flakes for added protein. Delicious recipe.
