Adjust the soy sauce based on your salt preference. For added texture, mix in some finely chopped vegetables like carrots or bell peppers. This recipe fits well within the realm of vegan recipes.

For a heartier meal, consider serving alongside Pork Loin With Roasted Sweet Potatoes And Parsnips. These patties also make a great appetizer for gatherings.
