Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 hamburger buns  (I love using the Hawaiian burger buns)
  • 1 tablespoon  olive oil

Hamburgers:

  • 1 pound  lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2  cup  panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup  chopped red onion
  • 1-3 teaspoons  Asian chili garlic sauce (I like using Sambal Oelek -- it's easy to find and delicious!)
  • 1 tablespoon  sodium soy sauce
  • 1  tablespoon  hoisin (Lee Kum Kee or Kikkoman)
  • 1  tablespoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 tablespoon  dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon  salt
  • 1  teaspoon  garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon  ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon  pepper
  • Chili Garlic Mayonnaise:
  • 1/2  cup  mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon  Asian chili garlic sauce

Hoisin Ketchup:

  • 1/4 cup  ketchup
  • 1  tablespoons  hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon  sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoons  fresh lime juice

Asian Slaw:

  • 4 cups  coleslaw
  • 1 cup  carrots, cut into matchstick pieces
  • 2  teaspoons  rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon  soy sauce
  • 1  teaspoon  fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon  granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon  sesame oil

Instructions

  • Add egg to a large bowl and gently whisk.
  • Add the rest of the hamburger Ingredients and mix with your hands until just barely combined.
  • Form mixture into 4 equal patties roughly the size of your hamburger buns. Using your thumb, make a deep impression in the middle of each patty. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together all ingredients for the hoisin ketchup. Set aside in refrigerator.
  • In another small bowl, whisk together all the mayonnaise ingredients. Set aside in refrigerator.
  • Add coleslaw and carrots to a large bowl and toss with remaining slaw ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add patties and cook until brown and slightly charred on one side, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes. If you like your burgers more well done, add a couple minutes per side. If they start getting too charred before they're done cooking, lower the heat to avoid them burning.
  • While the burgers are cooking, spread each half of the buns with a little butter and toast.
  • When the burgers are done, let them rest about 5 minutes.
  • To assemble, spread the buns with some chili garlic mayo, top with the burger, top the burger with some hoisin ketchup and add a handful of the slaw.
