3. Heat  a pan to medium high. (Non stick pan, do not use stainless steel it will stick)
4. Use two spoons to make a small round patties on the pan, about 1 inch. (When you make it too big it will be difficult to flip it)
5. Grill it about 2-3 min and flip it. It does not need to be fully cooked just grill until the surface gets burned on both side. 
   
6. When both sides are burned, place them in a plate. Repeat No. 5 and No.6 till you finish grilling all the patties. It will be faster to use two large pan. 
7. Mix the sauce ingredients  
8. Heat the pan to high put the patties and sauce in the pan, when the sauce starts boiling put it on medium low.  Mix it every 3-5 min so the sauce gets evenly absorbed. When the sauce is absorbed its done!!

When its cool enough, put it in the freezer in small portion. 

When packing for lunch, just microwave it and it will be ready to eat!!
