Note: You may add salt or sugar to the puree according to your liking.

2. Add in the carrots & French beans, stir fry for about a min then add some cold water. Add a pinch of salt & Lee and Perrin's sauce (optional).

Useful Tips!
1. Use butter instead of oil if you like a richer taste.
2. Coat the patty with bread crumb (after flour) if you like a really crunchy coating.
3. The veggie only requires short cooking time so it remains green & crunchy.
