Chef Mil

Berkeley, CA

Female, 49

I have been working in restaurants in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years (two of the restaurants had been in the SF Chronicle's Top 100 Restaurants). I have cooked mostly Mediterranean food, but have some experience with Asian food. I went to cooking school, and worked my way up from being a prep cook (think--prepping 3 cases of artichokes, de-boning 100 quail, and juicing a case of lemons!) to being a chef at a well known restaurant in my area. And no, I am not the yelling type! :)

I work with a recipe for vegetarian burgers (kebabs) that I try to cook on a charcoal stick. However, they do not come out very tight so that they roll on the stick and their texture is very soft.
As a stabilizer I use gum arabic and tapioca starch and to eliminate a lot of moisture I use phrygana (I have tried flour or oats but they become very sticky).
What else as a material or technique can I do to remove moisture and especially to get them tighter ??

Dear Chef
I am into Keto Diet, and I want all people to follow it also, it helps me, and I want the other to benefit from it also.

I want to establish a Pasta factory, but pasta without Wheat flour, instead, using Lupin, Chickpea, or Almond flour.
Whatever will be the best to make this dough.

I did a lot of research, but I couldn't find recipes suitable for industrial products, all was like homemade recipes.
