Gardenburger And Spinach With An Asian Twist

Sorry for not posting this yesterday. I did get gourmet into my day, but not until late at night after band practice. I got home exhausted and all I had in my refrigerator was lots of condiments, eggs, bread, and hummus. In the freezer I had gardenburgers and spinach. I decided to make spinach and a gardenburger. I turned on my George Forman Grill, which has been my kitchen staple for the last several years. I boiled some water for the spinach and placed the spinach in for 4 minutes. Then I made a wasabi vinaigrette. My recipe that I use for a wasabi vinaigrette is my own creation. I eyeball everything, but about two tbs. of soy sauce, 2 tbs. of rice vinegar, 1 tbs. of evoo, and 1 tbs. of wasabi mayonnaise (you can substitute regular mayonnaise as long as you put a little bit of wasabi paste in it.) Once the gardenburger is done I spread a little of the wasabi mayo on it, which you can find at Trader Joes or gourmet shops. I mix the wasabi vinaigrette with the cooked spinach and place that on top of the gardenburger. It tastes delicious, especially if you like wasabi, and is really healthy. If you do not like wasabi you could substitute a general tsao's sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a peanut sauce.
