Notes
- If you want to make these burgers really crispy, then use Panko breadcrumbs instead of wholemeal breadcrumbs.
- The key to keeping these burgers staying together is putting them in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before cooking (preferably an hour) and flipping them very carefully.
- Make sure the oil is nice and hot before adding the burgers to the pan.
- Not a fan of Thai flavours? You could just use some lemon juice and fresh herbs in these burgers, or add some Mexican seasoning instead.
