Steps:
- Lay eggplant rounds on a work surface. Cut a small slit horizontally through each round, making a pocket to form 'burger buns' that are still joined together.
- Mix ground pork, 2 tablespoons tamari, green onions, ginger, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stuff mixture into the 'buns.'
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add the stuffed buns and cover. Steam until tender and pork is only slightly pink in the center, about 20 minutes.
- Mix 1/4 cup tamari, garlic, sesame oil, and vinegar together in a small bowl to make the dipping sauce. Serve with the cooked eggplant burgers.

[email protected]These burgers are a great way to use up leftover eggplant. I had some roasted eggplant in the fridge and these burgers were the perfect way to use it up.

[email protected]I used panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs and they gave the burgers a really nice crispy coating.

[email protected]I made these burgers with ground turkey instead of ground beef and they were still really good. I think they would also be great with ground chicken or pork.
