Ingredients for Beef Patties With Thai Style Sauce

  • Ground Beef
  • Spring Onion
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Fresh Ginger
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
  • Hot Pepper
  • Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons oil, divided
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • Ground Cumin
  • 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk

How to Make Beef Patties With Thai Style Sauce

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro, 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 clove garlic (minced), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  3. If the mixture is too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk or water until it's moist but not wet.
  4. Shape the mixture into 6-8 small patties.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Fry the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through.
  6. Transfer the cooked patties to an oven-safe dish and set aside.
  7. In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of oil. Add 2 spring onions (thinly sliced), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 inch ginger (grated), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  9. Pour in 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon brown sugar.
  10. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in 1/4 cup chopped cashews or peanuts (optional).
  11. Pour the sauce over the patties or serve it on the side.
  12. Serve immediately with steamed rice and your choice of Asian greens (such as bok choy, tatsoi, or Chinese cabbage) seasoned with a splash of soy sauce.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
