I'm a HUGE fan of this recipe. I had it for dinner last night and then for lunch today. I agree that they could have held together better, but I only lost 1 on the flip. You really have to pack the mix in the cup. I'm not a fan of cooked carrots or of green onions, but I think the flavor that it does add is necessary. I could have left out the mango, but the cucumber added a much needed crunch. The sauce was awesome too!! Will make these again!!
4/16/2011 01:10:37 PM Report AbuseI only gave this recipe 2 stars because although it tasted good, the patties completely fell apart when I went to cook them. I followed the recipe exactly! I think they need some kind of binding agent like egg. We ended up eating it in crumbles with rice. Not ideal.
