Yum! I substituted the 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder for 1/2 teaspoon rice vinegar and the 1/4 teaspoon salt for 1/4 teaspoon light soy sauce for a more oriental taste. I got 6 smallish patties. Went down a storm, and I've already been asked to make them again! A must-try recipe!

I made a small batch like this and they were ok but I feel they needed to replace the Worcester with Soy Sauce, keep the mustard and add a half teaspoon of white pepper [or black but I prefer white] and i used panko flakes. The original recipe was good but it needed something extra :)

I am so sorry to say these did not work for me. They did not have much flavor, even though I used seasoned breadcrumbs from the gourmet store and seasoned salt in place of the regular. Also, they were dry and prone to falling apart, even with the addition of an extra egg as Barbara Polowetz suggested and some milk.
