I’m not sure what makes these Asian, as opposed to just a nicely flavored veggie burger. I guess they had to pick a name because the box is too small to write “Just a nicely flavored veggie vegan burger.” Maybe I should follow that kind of thinking and change the name of this blog to “Asian.”
The flavor is a little sweet and a very little bit spicy. The burger firms up nicely in the microwave, not falling apart like others. A pet peeve I have with most veggie burgers is they’re generally on the thin side and are overwhelmed somewhat by a bun. Putting two burgers on a bun produces a better ratio. But I wish they’d make a single burger a little thicker/heavier so we don’t have to double up.
This seems to be another special item that’s only around a week. I don’t know when it will grace the freezer cases again. The product is labeled vegan and the ingredient label (not shown here) tends to agree with that designation. At $3.69 per box, this is priced higher than the regular vegan veggie burger at $2.49.

I can’t find this item in my local Aldi’s at this time or for several months prior. Can I pick up somewhere else…another Aldi’s?

Or, you can also ask your local store manager.
My guess is these were an Aldi special are only around when they have a theme week. Good luck finding them.

The Asian Vegie Burger is delicious! I hope I can buy more at Aldi’s.

I’m thinking the Asian designation is the addition of chestnuts (and soy sauce of course). Going to definitely have to pick these up before they go, they look really good, (and not too often I get chesnuts in the diet lol.)
Picked up the Carrot N Pea Vegetable patties from Trader Joe’s last week. They’re okay.

I haven’t seen these in months. I had them in my freezer since December. I’m working on Quinoa Cowboy burgers from TJ now. You’re right, they are pretty good stuff.

Good review Steveo. I have found chickpea vegan burgers here in Canberra that are fat. Great on a bun.
