Step 2: Hydrate the bean mixture & divide
Black bean patty mixture
- eggs, beaten1
- bean mixture
At this stage, the mixture should still be pretty mealy so we need to bind it with one beaten egg. Add about half the egg to start, then add the cornstarch.
Mix this together until you can form a ball that sticks together. If it feels too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs, or if it's too dry add a little more beaten egg or water.
Divide the bean mixture into four (roughly 65 g) balls.
- Note: This can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days if you want to make it ahead of time.
