  1. Only used the spice mixture. It was very good. The spice is not very strong, it just gives the hamburgers a little extra flavor. I don't think the flavor is strong enough to make anyone not like it, but at the same time it is a different enough flavor to add a little excitement to normal burgers. Will definitely make it again.
     
  2. My DW and I enjoyed this recipe. It wasn't too strong on the spicy flavour and had just enough kick to make it different. I will be making these again. good luck, I see it's a contender.
     
  3. There is a lot of veggies in this burger which is good for you but made them very fragile as they came apart easily. So be sure to keep the heat not to high because it should be flipped only once. Less handling the better also stove top is the better way to cook I made mine on the grill and had to be very carefull. I didn't get much of the Thai flavor coming through it seemed more just like a veggie burger. Panko crumbs in place of the bread crumbs would be a good thing. I expected an explosion of flavor which Thai food is known for ans didn`t get it. I suggest using Thai chili`s in place of the jalapeno for more heat. I made it on the roll as suggested but it would have be great in a lettuce wrap. As for no topping in the recipe I suggest a limey, mint, cucumber relish or a spicy peanut sauce. Mint, Thai basil, lemongrass, and cilantro would all have been great toppings to give this burger a more authentic Thai style. Thanks.
     
  4. Other than substituting ground turkey I followed the recipe exactly. I liked the inclusion of veggies in the burger. I thought it was a nice way to add veggies to the diet especially if you have kids. The flavor was good and had a representative Thai flavor. My problem with this recipe was the meat mixture was too moist to form into patties. I ended up adding more breadcrumbs and the patties were to soft to be grilled. I pan fried and they were still very fragile. I would make this again after tweaking a bit and probably add cilantro into the meat. Thank you for your creative entry and good luck in the contest!
     
  5. Nice Thai flavoured burgers, but nothing exceptional. None of the flovours seemed strong enough. Possibly one I will try again, but with some definite tweaking involved.
