Ingredients
-
1 (15 ounce) can no-salt-added kidney beans, rinsed
-
⅓ cup walnuts
-
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce, divided
-
1 teaspoon ground pepper
-
½ teaspoon chili powder
-
½ teaspoon salt
-
⅓ cup shredded red beet
-
¾ cup precooked brown rice, such as Uncle Ben’s
-
2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce, such as Mae Ploy
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
1 ½ cups coleslaw mix
-
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
-
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns, toasted
Directions
-
Place kidney beans, walnuts, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, pepper, chili powder and salt in a food processor. Pulse, stopping once or twice to scrape down the sides, until a coarse mixture forms that holds together when pressed. Transfer to a bowl and add beet and rice; stir well to combine. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Meanwhile, whisk chili sauce, vinegar and the remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce in a medium bowl. Add coleslaw mix; toss to coat. Set aside.
-
Shape the beet mixture into 4 patties.
-
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook until golden and beginning to crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes more.
-
Serve the burgers on buns with the sweet chili slaw.
Tips
To make ahead: The burger patties can be made in advance. Prepare patties through Step 3; cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
