What would you use to bind it? People seem to like black bean burgers too. I think tempeh has a meatish texture and the mushrooms add a hearty, earthy taste, brown rice has a rich, nutty texture. Also, soy sauce adds depth of flavor.

I like Morningstar Grillers, they feel and taste the most like meat burgers to me.
