EASY ASIAN FUSION BURGERS

Easy Asian Fusion Burgers image

These easy Asian fusion burgers are a fusion between Chinese and American flavors. I did not add ginger because of my family's taste but I think 1 teaspoon might be a good add-in. Make it keto by chopping up the burger and adding it to a low-carb tortilla.

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup General Tso sauce
1 ½ teaspoons minced garlic
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon onion powder
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon salt
1 ½ pounds ground beef or chuck
½ teaspoon soy sauce, or to taste
ground black pepper to taste
4 hamburger buns, split
¼ cup chopped romaine lettuce, or to taste

Steps:

Heat a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.
Combine mayonnaise, cilantro, General Tso sauce, garlic, crushed red pepper, onion powder, 1/8 teaspoon black pepper, and salt in a small mixing bowl; stir well.
Form ground beef into 4 patties; place into the hot pan. Add 3 to 4 drops of soy sauce to each burger; season with additional black pepper to taste. Cook patties until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of each patty should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Prepare hamburger buns by adding a generous amount of mayonnaise mixture and romaine to each. Add cooked patties to buns and serve.
