Steemit Sandwich Contest Week 11: Vegan Korean Barbeque Meatball Sandwich with Bootleg Kimchi

Normally, I make my own vegan burgers from scratch. Not that I'm a vegan snob or anything. It's just that: (1) I prefer knowing exactly what's in my burgers and (2) I've never found a commercially available vegan burger that I liked. That is until now. Last my eyes were drawn to a new product in my local grocery store!

Maybe I just hadn't noticed but all of a sudden, I was seeing The Beyond Meat Beyond Burger everywhere. Always up to a challenge, I decided to give this product a try. At 20 grams of protein per serving, it had potential.

Initially, I tried this product with a simple grilled burger. It. Was. Banging.

But, as good as this Vegan burger was (I'm talking grilled onions, mushrooms, lettuce, tomatoes..the works) the Steemit Sandwich Contest deserves something with a little bit more finesse!

So, my fellow Steemians, I present to you the one, the only: Vegan Korean Barbeque Meatball Sandwich with Bootleg Kimchi!

This sandwich is anything but pedestrian. I'm telling you, this sandwich doesn't play! It was so good that it had both me and my husband doing the happy food dance!

The meatballs are full of flavor, heat and just a hint of sweetness.

Green onions, garlic, flax meal, panko, Gochujang, ginger, and seasoning are combined with The Beyond Meat Beyond Burger patties.

The meatballs are then lightly browned in a bit of organic canola oil (or your favorite oil). And then they finish cooking in the oven, after which, they are glazed with a Gochujang glaze.

This super simple glaze is made of apricot preserves, Gochujang, rice vinegar and tamari.

I piled these delicious Gochujang glazed meatballs onto a pretzel bun and topped it with a generous amount of my own Bootleg Kimchi.

My easy, peasy Bootleg Kimchi is a delicious mix of green cabbage, kale, baby bok choy, tamari, pineapple juice, ginger, onion, white miso, carrots, green onions and Sambal Oelek. It's not really Kimchi but it's got that Kimchi flavor profile going on! Believe me, no one was complaining about my Bootleg Kimchi when I brought this Korean Barbeque Meatball Sandwich to the table.

Sorry about the sign in the photo fellow Steemians, but my dear hubby started eating before I could get my official Week 11 Sandwich Contest sign printed.

I have been thinking of making more and more vegeterian and vegan options and this is amazing. thank u! i love love the korean flavors

Thank you for your kind words. Korean flavor profiles are really great in vegan cooking.

Shudang! Seeing the actual post is that much better lol..

Bang up job on this entry it's great!

Looks super appetizing and the presentation is on point/back story haha.

Those Beyond Meat burgers are the BEST. Definitely the best veggie burgers I have tried in the two years I haven’t eaten meat. I may have to try this recipe soon!

Looks good..I do a similar recipe using vegan protein to make our meat sauce pasta, also really good in burritos. This recipe seems satisfying as well as environmentally conscious. Mahalo

This looks great, I love kimchi and gochujang (:

Wow this looks incredible! I love the care you've taken especially with not just cooking the pattys but adding extra ingredients to them for the YUM factor haha. Points for creativity and presentation for sure - great job!

It looks delicious! Well done :)
