Korean Hamburgers

"Yes, it is one TABLESPOON of minced garlic! These are absolutely wonderful. Serve on a bun with teriyaki sauce..... -------------- If freezing in advance, you might want to lessen the garlic just a little as the flavor intensifies. Unless you're like me and LOVE the taste!"

  1. Absolutely delicious and simple to make! I had read some reviews that said the mixture was a little loose, so I mixed all the ingredients together, formed the patties, and then let them sit in the fridge for at least 30 mins before I grilled them. That is an old grilling trick I've found that helps the patties stay together regardless of whats in them. I used the George Foreman grill, but instead of closing the lid and squishing the burgers, I cooked one side for 5 mins, flipped it, and cooked the other side for 5 mins with the grill still open. The burgers were even delicious 2 days later as leftovers. I would only make 1 tiny little change to the recipe- I would add more garlic (that's just a personal preference, I love garlic!). Thank you for this wonderful recipe, I will definitely be making these again.
     
  2. OMG!! These rock!! I've made steaks and these burgers and had the burgers go first. I also take the basic spices and use it to marinade beef for stir-fry!!
     
  3. Followed the recipe and added a bit of dry mustard as well. Easy to do and they were good. Almost anything with sesame seeds is good for me!!
     
  4. This recipe is bookmarked. I've made it many times. Always add sriracha to add some punch. I always skip the onions only because hubby hates them. I add ginger just because and I serve them with broiled pineapple on brioche buns. Yum! I often side pair with fries or green snap peas.
     
  5. So yummy...I made the patties using an old Tupperware patty maker...froze them for an hour and cooked them up...I used a suggestion by another reviewer to top it with a pineapple slice and serve it on a Brioche bun...I took it a bit further by adding sliced Swiss and lettuce...similar to a Red Robin teriyaki burger...it was so good...and I have two more patties in the freezer...made for "Best of 2021" tag game...

Tweaks

  1. I add some ginger or Chinese 5 Spice, a bit (1 Tblsp) of ketchup, I use brown sugar and reduce the soy sauce to 3 Tablespoons. Other options are crushed red pepper or some hot sauce, I like my homemade chipotle hot sauce.
     
  2. I love these burgers!!! When we are tired of the same old thing they really change it up nicely. I tried one of the other reviewers suggestions to "use a pan (instead of grilling), the glaze makes a great sauce...just add some water and a little flour" and I also used sesame oil instead of using sesame seeds (replaced the vegetable oil with same amount of sesame oil) and they came out just right!
     
  3. Loved 'em! Burgers were moist, sweet and garlicky all at the same time. We had another couple over and they also loved the burgers. I made 3 pounds and froze one of the pounds in patties for later (won't be long!!) - I only used 8T soy for the entire 3lbs of beef and used splenda in place of sugar and olive oil instead of vegetable oil. I didn't have any trouble shaping the burgers or getting them to stick. I used a 1/2 cup to measure out the burgers and got exactly 12 (4 per pound). Will be making again!
     
  4. 2 Thumbs up for this dish. All 4 of my kids liked it.... that rarely happens in this household, so I am extremely grateful for this recipe. Did not change a thing except for following the advice of one reviewer and used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil. Served this one with soft sandwich buns ( recipe # 120530 ), and some French Fries for a very filling dinner. Thank you for posting.
     
  5. These are truly fantastic! I used sesame oil instead of the vegetable oil and then skipped the sesame seeds. I only used about 2 tablespoons of the soy sauce for personal preference. These were easy to put together. Thanks for such a great recipe.

Still in West Virginia but we've moved a few miles away, down to the county capitol. It's a compromise: bigger than our last town but smalelr than the "big city" of Cumberland MD, right up the road. Jobs are not that plentiful here so I am fortunate to be able to work at home (I'm a writer). My passion is cooking and feeding people family well....my pet peeve is the family court systems in America......my love is for emergency medicine and the people that make survival in a crisis possible
