America's favorite food gets an Asian spin.
Ingredients:
Burgers:
1 pound extra-lean ground beef (also called 95/5 or 5%)
1/4 cup soft bread crumbs
1 egg white
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons soy sauce
4 whole wheat hamburger buns, split
Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives or green onion tops
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon dark sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
Toppings:
Shredded Napa cabbage or lettuce, bell pepper strips, bean sprouts
Preparation:
Combine Ginger-Lemon Mayonnaise ingredients in small bowl; refrigerate until ready to use.
Combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg white, salt, and pepper in large bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
Place patties on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 11-13 minutes to medium (160°F) doneness (until no longer pink in center and juices show no pink color), turning occasionally and basting with 2 tablespoons soy sauce during last 5 minutes of grilling. About 2 minutes before burgers are done, place buns, cut sides down, on grid. Grill until lightly toasted.
Place burger on bottom of each bun; top with equal amount of mayonnaise and toppings, if desired. Close sandwiches.
