Meatless friday meal- Rice and salmon fritter burger with Joi Choi slaw

So I missed posting the Friday meal because we are up to some major projects around the house which I will be posting in two weeks so stay tuned but I am posting this on Sunday and cheating by post dating with Fridays date.

This is a super cheap and delish recipe.  I made it with just whatever I had in the fridge and garden but will be making it again intentionally.  You can substitute any fish you have on hand or even tuna if thats all ya got.  This is actually a big fritter but works great as a burger patty.

Heres what you need:

Fritter patty
2 cups cooked rice
2 pieces of fish about the size of your palm, cooked and flaked
Cup of corn
2 eggs
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup milk (I am not sure but I think you could substitute some other liquid here if you do not drink milk)
1 tsp baking powder
Thyme (we used fresh because we have it in the garden but I suppose you could use dried) or just grow some herbs, you will use them.
Salt
oil for frying

In a bowl, mix everything together.  In a frying pan add enough oil to cover the sides of your pan about an inch.  On medium high heat, drop your mixture into the hot oil as if you were making pancakes.  Fry until golden brown on both sides.

Joi Choi slaw

You may not be able to find this anywhere, it is one of the staples in my garden here in Moss Flower farm but you might be able to find some Bok choi and that would work the same way

2 handfuls of raw Choi
Extra virgin olive oil (because I really hate saying or reading EVOO haha)
2 cloves of garlic minced
half an spanish yellow onion finely chopped
3 tbsps pomegranate red wine vinegar (you could use any type of red wine vinegar)
salt

Chop all your veggies slaw style, season salt , pour a little (we used a few tablespoons) olive oil in your hot pan, and sautee the onions and garlic, add the choi and vinegar.  Sautee it all up until wilted but still crunchy.  Be careful not to burn your garlic or choi because it will become bitter.

Put some homemade mayo and fritter patty on a bun, top with some of your choi slaw and enjoy.
