Ingredients
Pickled Cucumbers
1 small cucumber
1 T apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 t sugar
1/4 t crushed red pepper
Asian Burgers
1# hamburger (preferably grass-fed and organic)
1 T minced ginger root
3 garlic cloves minced
2 T chopped fresh cilantro
1 T tamari
salt and pepper
Preparation
For the cucumbers: Using a mandoline, thinly slice the cucumber. Mix the pickling juices together and let it sit at room temp until the burgers are done.
For the Burgers: Mix everything together, but don’t mix too much or the burgers may fall apart. If this happens, you can add breadcrumbs and/or egg white to bind everything together.
Grill the burgers and serve on buns with pickled cucumbers and wasabi aioli (3 parts mayo to 1 part wasabi powder).
