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
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
