Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine and is typically made by fermenting vegetables with spices and seasonings. In this recipe, we're taking the iconic flavors of kimchi and incorporating them into a classic burger. The result is a juicy, flavorful patty topped with a tangy and spicy kimchi slaw and a creamy ginger aioli. It's a great way to experience a taste of Korea in a familiar, American format.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, mix together the shredded napa cabbage, half of the sliced green onions, seasoned rice vinegar, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of minced fresh ginger, 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoon of asian chili-garlic sauce to form the kimchi slaw.
2.In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, remaining green onions, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 2 teaspoons of minced fresh ginger, 1/2 tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and 1 teaspoon of asian chili-garlic sauce to form the ginger aioli.
3.Divide the ground chuck into four equal portions and form four burger patties. Season them with soy sauce and a teaspoon of the remaining minced garlic on both sides.
4.Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the burger patties on the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are cooked through.
5.Toast the buns on the grill for 1-2 minutes.
6.Build your burger by placing the cooked patty on the bottom half of the bun, followed by a generous portion of the kimchi slaw, and a dollop of the ginger aioli. Top with the other half of the bun and enjoy!
