Ingredients

Scale

For the Burger Patties:

  • 1 lb (450g) ground beef (80/20 for juiciness)

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce

  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

For the Asian BBQ Glaze:

  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey

  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes for heat

For the Sriracha Mayo:

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise

  • 12 tablespoons sriracha (to taste)

  • 1 teaspoon lime juice

Other Ingredients:

  • 4 burger buns, toasted

  • 1 cup shredded cabbage or Asian slaw mix

  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice (to dress the slaw)

  • Sliced cucumbers or pickles (optional)

  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the patties:
    In a bowl, combine ground beef with soy sauce, hoisin, sesame oil, garlic, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 4 patties. Press a thumbprint in the center of each (helps them cook evenly).

  2. Cook the burgers:
    Grill or pan-fry patties over medium-high heat for 3–4 minutes per side, or until desired doneness.

  3. Glaze:
    While burgers cook, whisk together glaze ingredients in a small saucepan. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Brush burgers with glaze in the last minute of cooking.

  4. Make the sriracha mayo:
    Mix mayo, sriracha, and lime juice in a small bowl. Set aside.

  5. Dress the slaw:
    Toss cabbage/slaw mix with a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice.

  6. Assemble burgers:
    Spread sriracha mayo on the bottom bun, top with glazed burger, slaw, cucumbers, and cilantro. Finish with the top bun.

 


Notes

  • Want it spicy? Add jalapeños or more sriracha to the mayo.

  • Make it lighter with ground turkey or plant-based patties.

  • Serve with sweet potato fries or sesame coleslaw on the side!
