Mika G.'s Note:

Cooking Korean food is a passion of mine. I don't know how traditional this is but it has the taste of bulgoki in a burger. Very flavorful!

DEE-LISH!!! What a flavor sensation!! Ours were served on toasted kaiser rolls topped with Paula Deen's Sesame-Garlic Mayonnaise , chopped romaine and slices of vidalia onions. On the side was Hot Kimchi Pickle - Quick . The flavor was knock out..I too, was taken aback by the sugar, but it works. For those of you who chose to grill this, they seemed to flare up a bit because of the added sesame oil I believe. Instead of pepper flakes, I used sambal olek as an alternative. This is a great little burger and I cannot wait to have them again!

I didn't make this into patties but served it over rice. What an easy and tasty meal. I want to make it again and wrap with eggroll wrappers. This would make a good appetizer. Thanks Mika G.

These were good. I've never had bulgoki, so I can't make a comparison there, but the taste reminded me of Mongolian Beef. Most of the soy sauce seemed to cook out of the patties for me. Don't know if that was supposed to happen or not. Made a great lunch!
