Thanks for such a GREAT recipe, Di! Very delicious! Had company over and everyone really loved them! A guest did not care for green onions, so I minced about 1/2 C sweet onion, (I doubled the recipe); I used ground garlic, wet in the jar, same for ginger, and used only 1/2 of the amount for doubled recipe, but will use more next time. Didn't know if the ground would be too powerful...but these were SO good! Yum!!! :o) UPDATE: Diana, Had these again tonight and followed the recipe exactly! These still get 5 stars from me, (*****) but don't know if it's fair to do that again. But! I wanted everyone out there to know that these are simply the best! And the aroma while they are cooking is enough to make you want to eat them all to yourself! No sharing!!! lol We will always make our burgers this way from here on out! (BTW, it was our anniversary tonight and we all agreed that this was more enjoyable than eating out in some overly priced restaurant!!) I can never thank you enough for posting this recipe!!

Not your ordinary burger, these are fantastic. Even the fussy eater of the family was impressed. We ate them on fresh bread rolls with salad and sweet chilli sauce. You have got to try them!!!!

I'm not using stars because I don't want to degrade a recipe everyone enjoys. I, personally, think this recipe would make a lovely meat loaf but I did not care for it as a hamburger. The flavor is interesting and it is tasty, but the hamburgers did not stay together well. They didn't actually totally fall apart, but they just weren't as consistant as a regular, plain grilled hamburger. My husband thought they were good and I have 2 more patties in the freezer, so we will have them again. I think maybe I expected too much.
