Give your classic black bean burger recipe a lift with this spicy version, infused with Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce.


The fermented black beans and garlic combine for a punch of savory umami that adds incredible depth of flavor to the burger patties. For a binder, we opted for mashed potato, which adds moisture and texture while holding the black bean burger mix together. To keep this recipe plant-based, simply cook without adding butter or milk to your mashed potato.


Add your burger toppings of choice (including vegan cheese, should you want to keep the entire thing plant-based) and finish with the burger sauce, a spin on barbecue sauce infused with umami flavors, and enjoy!

How to make it

  1. Blend the bell pepper and onion in a food processor until a rough, chunky paste. 
  2. Mash the black beans in a mixing bowl and add the blended bell pepper and onion mix, mashed potato, and a tablespoon of each of Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce and Sriracha Chili Sauce. Mix well to combine until the patty mix holds together. 
  3. Preheat a pan or grill to medium heat and add oil to the pan. Form black bean burger mix into patties and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side. Once flipped, add your cheese (or vegan cheese) and cover the pan or grill so that the cheese melts. Remove from heat when cooked.
  4. While the burgers cook, combine remaining Lee Kum Kee Black Bean Garlic Sauce and Sriracha Chili Sauce with sugar, BBQ sauce of choice, and water to make your burger sauce. 

  5. Construct burgers in the following order: bottom bun, lettuce leaf, burger patty, tomato, red onion slices, and a drizzle of the black bean barbecue sauce. Spread a little more on the top bun before crowning each burger and enjoy!
