Asian Burgers with Sriracha Mayo
These Asian Burgers combine ground beef with distinctive Asian flavors like oyster sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, and spices for a savory meat patty with subtle sweetness and umami depth. The panko crumbs help bind the mixture and keep the burgers tender. Topped with a spicy sriracha mayo and fresh cilantro, they offer a flavorful twist on classic grilled burgers. Served on buns with crisp cole slaw for contrast, the burgers balance spicy, savory, and fresh textures.
Ingredients
For the Burgers:
- 1 ½ lb ground beef lean
- ¼ cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 TB oyster sauce Asian
- 2 TB soy sauce or gluten-free Tamari sauce
- 1 TB granulated sugar
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp sesame oil caramel brown in color, Asian toasted
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp white pepper
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 egg large
Sriracha Mayo:
- ½ cup mayonnaise whole
- 4 tsp sriracha or modify to desired spice level
- 2 TB Dijon mustard
For Serving:
- 4 Buns or ciabatta rolls
- 8 oz cole slaw mix no dressing, bagged, cabbage-based
- cilantro freshly chopped
Instructions
- Make Sriracha Mayo: Combine mayo, Sriracha, and dijon mustard in a bowl. Add more or less Sriracha depending on how much kick you want. (As written, it's a moderate spice level.)
- Form Burgers: In a large bowl, combine all burger ingredients and mix well to thoroughly incorporate. Form into 4 even patties.
- Grill and Serve: Grill on preheated grill until patties are cooked to your liking. Medium is recommended. Serve with cabbage slaw, cilantro, and plenty of Sriracha mayo on buns.
Notes
- This recipe can also be made into six smaller burgers instead of four larger ones using the same ingredient amounts.
- Adjust the amount of Sriracha in the mayo to control the spice level according to preference.
- To retain juiciness, avoid overcooking the patties on the grill; medium doneness is recommended.
- Fresh cilantro and crisp cole slaw complement the rich burger and add texture contrast.
