Spicy Korean hamburger
I don’t eat hamburgers very often but when I get a serious craving, I make sure it’s juicy and filled with goodness! I thought it might be fun to create a spicy Korean hamburger by adding tobanjan, panko breadcrumbs and fresh ginger to spice up plain ground beef. Squirt some sri racha sauce, mayo and top it with kimchi, a thick slice of tomato and some easy home made cucumber pickles, and a decadent Korean hamburger is born! This hamburger recipe tastes like a mix between halal cart meat and Korean barbecue. I often experiment with burger meat recipes but this one is our favorite. Juicy, salty and spicy with a lightly toasted bun and refreshing veggies, this is one dish I’m proud to have created!
