- Knife
Ingredients
Burger Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef preferably 80% lean
- ¼ cup gochujang Korean chili paste
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp soy sauce low-sodium
- 4 medium burger buns toasted
Toppings
- 1 cup spinach fresh, washed
- ½ cup carrots julienned
- ½ cup cucumber sliced thinly
- ¼ cup kimchi chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Burger Mix: In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, gochujang, egg, and soy sauce. Mix thoroughly until ingredients are well blended.
- Form and Cook Patties: Divide the meat mixture into four even portions and shape them into patties. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook each patty for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove and let rest.
- Assemble the Burger: Place a handful of fresh spinach on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Top with a cooked patty, followed by a generous portion of julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, and a spoonful of kimchi. Add the top bun to complete.
Notes
- For an extra fusion touch, consider adding a dash of sesame oil to the burger mix.
- If you prefer more heat, increase the gochujang or add sliced jalapeños to the toppings.
