Kelp Granules: amzn.to/39wJCl0
Old Bay: amzn.to/3ueTeZA
My goal at THEE BURGER DUDE is to show vegans and non-vegans alike how easy it is to make delicious and decadent vegan meals. I used to eat a lot of meat and dairy before going vegan, so this channel is aimed at people like myself before going vegan. Additionally, I totally welcome any vegans who might be missing one of their favorite fast food or comfort food meals as well, come on in! I want to show that you can still have burgers, mac n' cheese, fried chick’n and any other kind of comfort food, and that it’s possible with plant-based ingredients.
If you’re new to veganism and don’t know where to start, or if you’re totally new to cooking, or new to both, then I hope you find something on this site that piques your interest and are inspired to cook! And if you have any questions please contact me!

You nailed it. I just tried it. Amazing taste, I made it exactly as per your recipe, btw my first time working with Jackfruit, incredible vegetable for the vegan population. Thank you sharing your talents ❤🙏☮

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Excellent! That's awesome to hear!

[@3p1Kf41L]

Vegetable?

[@SnazzyVeganLife]

Gotta try this!! 😋

[@civilizationkills3138]

​@@3p1Kf41Lvegetable is a culinary term not a botanist one

[@michaelnicastro2148]

I’ve been making my own version with, chickpeas, hearts of palm, tofu and seaweed, taste pretty good!!

[@suicune2001]

Nice! Someone else mentioned hearts of palm but adding chickpeas could improve the texture. I'll have to experiment.

[@jackmcgrath2195]

Those kelp granules have been a secret ingredient for my vegan seafood for years, that stuff is soooo good! Great video as always 👍

[@RavensWingTarot]

A jackfruit tip I wish I learned sooner...wring the shit out of it in a kitchen towel. That's how you get a meatier texture and get the briney flavor out.

[@DK-qj7cr]

There is a youtuber who has a video with an entire process to remove ‘briny/canned’ taste

[@RavensWingTarot]

Yes I've seen that and it's a whole process and still doesn't. This legit works in one minute.

[@suicune2001]

Thanks! I've never eaten this kind of jackfruit before so I'll keep that in mind. :)

[@MandaAndrea]

Haven't tried trader joe's crabless cakes but definitely down to give your recipe a try! These look bomb

[@randomguy5565]

Awesome Video as always! Great timing since seaspiracy is going nuts on Netflix right now

[@suicune2001]

Oh snap, I forgot about that! I'll have to go watch it. EDIT: Wow, that was a really good documentary. It reminds me of What The Health in terms of these organizations that are supposed to protect us are actually funded by the very industries killing us and the environment. It makes me glad I already went vegan and never liked fish to begin with.

[@pgp519]

The crackers for breadcrumbs! You’re a star

[@ValseInstrumentalist]

I'd like to see this with Heart of Palm instead of jackfruit.

[@amberbrittian6218]

I make mine with hearts of Palm same seasonings and Ira bomb

[@suicune2001]

Oh good idea! My store doesn't have that kind of jackfruit he's using. Mine only has the yellow one in syrup. But my store does have heart of palm.

[@suzettesmith2075]

I make mine with hearts of palm too. They are pretty good

[@spookiecats]

Same! I just found him tonight in my Twitter feed and subscribed here immediately after! I can’t stand jackfruit so hearts of palm is for me as well. I’m going to try it this weekend.

[@KeciaHolden]

I use hearts of palm with fresh bell peppers & onions. I use old bay for seasoning & panko to fry.

[@kl-tj4nx]

The Trader Joe’s one looked so sad. You killed this one😊🙏😅

[@stephentoumi]

Love the versatility of jackfruit as crab or pork. This "crabless" cakes look absolutely amazing! Cheers TBD!

[@Dookabapapa]

For the amount of quality in this video you deserve way more views

[@lamemechose7072]

I just found your channel and I love it! You give us exactly the correct amount of info. Your “if I could go back in time…” sentences are extremely helpful! Mistakes are learning opportunities and I get to learn with you.

[@NatalieWisler]

Okay now these look good 🔥 🔥

[@crayasiankid]

"what's it here there" sauce 🤣🤣

[@MisterRawgers]

These look amazing. Also that intro is a+mazing!

[@yakzivz1104]

hats off!!! that looks so good!

[@NatalieWisler]

Your version definitely looks better 🤩

[@emdeers]

💯 The Trader Joe’s puck looked pretty gross tbh. His looked like the real thing. 🔥

[@keepingitreal9469]

Thanks I love your videos 😍

[@primelad2696]

Amazing idea, never heard of these

[@teresarivera7878]

YAAASSSS!!! Gonna make this for my meat and fish eating family 😅 they're never gonna know what hit them til after the fact! They think vegan food is bland😌 This is an awesome way to introduce them to it: crab cakes ala jackfruit!😉😋 Thanks for the recipe, Thee Burger Dude!

[@ringojam942]

Made these yesterday and they were incredibly tasty! Couldn't find Old Bay at my local grocery store here in Canada, but found some other seafood seasoning and it totally did the trick. Threw in a chopped dill pickel in the sauce as well instead of dill relish and it was fire. Thanks for all these great vegan comfort food recipes!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

Nice! Glad you liked them and that the subs worked out!

[@ButItsVegan]

“Little drippy drip never hurt nobody” 💀🤣

[@imveganbtw111]

You seem like you'd be fun to hang out with. Awesome recipe/vid as always Mr. Dude!

[@youknowitstrue4182]

Hey Dude, First time seeing one of your videos. New Sub. - great job.

[@plantbasedmasterpiece3332]

They really look so yummy! 😋 I’ve also made vegan crab cakes before. Tho I used Lion Mane's Mushroom for it. Overall, looks great bro! 🙂

[@joeb4142]

As soon as I saw you biting into one of the crab cake sliders I thought, “white wine!” Cool thing is I have most of the ingredients and an Aldi across the street.

[@kennethmaese4622]

I wasn’t a fan of crab before I went vegan but I really want to try this recipe

[@germanorlov6149]

thank you

[@Raddiebaddie]

These look epic

[@_steamfunk_2271]

I'm actually Allergic to shellfish. But I bet that would taste very good

[@kl-tj4nx]

Also the tartar sauce>>>>> bomb asf

[@margscarpone]

As a June Cancer, I feel attacked. In all seriousness, the recipe looks awesome!

[@lechatbotte.]

Lol

[@belnbst]

Trader Joe’s discontinued it so I’m happy to have a better alternative! Thanks!

[@XxFluffyxX]

I would have never have thought to use jackfruit for crab!

[@TheeBurgerDude]

It works super well!

[@XxFluffyxX]

@@TheeBurgerDude Does it actually taste like crab without being marinated? I'll HAVE to try it of course...for research purposes 😜

[@michaelworsham2724]

For a fairer comparison test, you should freeze your crab cakes, and then compare your frozen patties to Trader Joe's.

[@TheeBurgerDude]

I don't know if that would make much difference, they were pretty bad, in fact they don't make them anymore!

[@michaelworsham2724]

@@TheeBurgerDude OK, I don't doubt your experience with them, but in general, fresh anything is better than reheated, or frozen, so a fair test would be to compare fresh to fresh, or frozen to frozen.

[@misterx-gy3fg]

It wasn't a fairness competition, it was for taste. The Trader Joe's were sold as frozen, it's not like he froze them from fresh in order to give himself a leg up. Plus he's judging his own creation vs. a competitor, where's the fairness in that?

[@suicune2001]

Have you ever had Gardein's crab cakes? I've never liked crab and when I tried them, I didn't like them. I want to know if that's how it's supposed to taste or if it just tastes bad. I might actually try this recipe though since all the ingredients sound good.

[@foreverchasingsky8976]

When I ate meat I didn't like seafood even now I still can't get with vegan seafood, but this looks good. I'm going to try it out.

[@suicune2001]

Same. I've always hated fish but this sounds like it could be good.

[@Boomtendo4tw]

beautiful

[@channelldaniels594]

Looks like a real crab cake.

[@kawasakimoto6264]

I made 🦀 flavor by cooking carrots with some onions and green or red pepper and a spoon of cream it tasted just like crab I guess you can use the sauce to flavor vegetable meat

[@johnoneill5533]

Classic maryland crabcakes have diced red bell pepper. You could try adding that next time. Maybe green jalapeno without seeds or veins. Just the right amount of heat. But these look good! I'm in!

[@melanie1006s]

Yo dude you sub jack fruit for artichoke hearts and you can also use powdered dashi which is dried seaweed.

[@SnowBird79]

You should use shredded hearts of palm

[@lindapb6529]

I've been contemplating making tuna sandwiches with jackfruit, but am still thinking about how to go about it. This looks really good and a nice alternative. Thanks for sharing. And if you come up with a good tuna, let us know!

[@suicune2001]

I've made a tuna-like sandwich using chickpeas. I used all the other ingredients I used for tuna, like relish and vegan mayo. You can either mash the chickpeas or put them in a food processor.

[@lindapb6529]

@@suicune2001 Hi, yep, made the chickpea version many times! It's delicious. I've tried all types, and think most are really good; i just haven't done a jackfruit version yet, have you? :^)

[@suicune2001]

@@lindapb6529 I've never tried young green jackfruit before. My store doesn't sell them. I did order some online so I'll at least get to try them. The only kind my store sells are the yellow ones in syrup which definitely would not work for tuna. lol

[@lindapb6529]

@@suicune2001 Yeah, syrupy tuna doesn't whet the appetite, lol. Not sure where you are, but Trader Joe's has good jackfruit in cans. And there's always online too.

[@suicune2001]

@@lindapb6529 I don't know if there is a Trader Joe's in my town. I'd probably have to use something like Instacart to get anything beyond my normal store and they don't put many products online that actually exist in the store. A couple of people have also mentioned palm hearts. I've only tried those once. I don't remember what for though. I don't remember liking them as much as chickpeas but it could be worth a try.

[@funfairordnance]

Gooooddd, everything you make is so yummy c: heh, i guess it’s time to go to the store… Mask on, ready to go XD!

Chef John would approve your cayenne use.

[@bigjohnsbreakfastlog5819]

I know the default purpose of the channel is vegan eating but I like alternative purposes of this, like how if you have a shellfish allergy but want to try crab cakes there is a way. But seriously, I have been working on reducing my meat consumption.

[@lisalyons915]

Dude, do you have good recipe for vegan hollandaise? Because of you use your crab cakes as the base for Eggs Benedict, using portobello mushrooms instead of English muffins, it would be a rock-your-world brunch option! Just a suggestion 😉

[@TheeBurgerDude]

That's a great idea! I definitely have a hollandaise in the works! I wanna do a video with at least 2 options.

[@ziggiesaquaticexotics8270]

Oh Shake kelp do be bussin jit ghee chief 🎉

Yes good idea! I've seen others do that too.

I wonder if it wouldn't be better to get jackfruit in syrup; to have is a little sweet might be better than having to fight with it to get the brine taste out. Anyone?

Drain and rinse jackfruit, ok, but wash it??
