How to Make Asian Style Hamburgers
- Shape 1 lb ground beef into six patties, about ¾ inch thick.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, ¼ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Set aside ¼ cup of the marinade for basting and refrigerate.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the beef patties in a shallow dish.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight.
- Preheat grill to medium heat. Grill burgers uncovered for 5-6 minutes per side, basting frequently with the reserved marinade, until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Serve immediately on hamburger buns with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, and sesame seeds.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
