Korean Spicy Dak Galbi Burger
This burger swaps the standard patty seasoning for the bold, spicy-sweet marinade used in Korean dak galbi — gochujang, soy, sesame, and garlic. The result is a fast weeknight sandwich with noticeably more heat and complexity than a classic burger. Everything is on the table in 30 minutes.
Equipment
- 1 Grill pan or regular frying pan
- 1 Mixing bowl
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken preferably free-range
- 2 tablespoons gochujang Korean chili paste
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 cup kimchi finely chopped
- 4 medium burger buns preferably toasted
- 4 handful lettuce leaves
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, gochujang, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until well blended.
- Form the mixture into four equal-sized patties.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat (about 200°C/390°F). Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Assemble the burgers by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each toasted bun, followed by a patty, a slice of cheddar cheese, chopped kimchi, and the top half of the bun.
Notes
- For an extra kick, consider drizzling a bit more gochujang sauce on top.
- For a milder version, reduce the amount of gochujang or opt for a sweet chili sauce.
