How to Make Vietnamese Hamburgers

  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, fish sauce, minced lemongrass, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly but avoid overmixing.
  2. Divide the beef mixture into four equal portions. Gently form each portion into a patty, about 1/2 inch thick. Lightly pat the patties to flatten.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and browned. Alternatively, grill over medium-high heat for the same cook time, turning once.
  4. While the patties cook, prepare your toppings: slice the cucumber, and have the bean sprouts and lettuce leaves ready.
  5. Spread sweet chili sauce on the bottom halves of the Kaiser rolls.
  6. Place the cooked patties on the bottom bun halves. Top with cucumber, bean sprouts, and lettuce leaves.
  7. Add extra Nuoc Cham and/or chili flakes if desired.
  8. Top with the remaining Kaiser roll halves and serve immediately. Enjoy!
