To Make The Burgers
In a large bowl, add all of the burger ingredients and use your hands to mix well. Shape the mixture into 4 patties, roughly the size of your buns. Make a deep thumb print in the middle of each patty (to help them cook evenly), and refrigerate them for 15 minutes.
To Make The Asian Flavored Condiments
In a small bowl, whisk together all of the ketchup ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
In another small bowl, whisk together the mayo ingredients. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use.
To Make The Asian Slaw
To a large bowl, add the slaw and carrots. Toss with the remaining ingredients, until mixed well. Refrigerate, until ready to use.
To Fix The Burgers
In a large skillet, over medium high heat, heat the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the patties. Continue cooking until they're charred on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip the patties, and char the other side, for the same amount of time.
Cover the pan and cook an additional 3-5 minutes, or until your desired done-ness.
To Assemble
Spread the tops of the burgers with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Let sit.
Spread the inside of the buns liberally with the mayo. Top bottom buns with burgers. Spread the ketchup liberally out over top. Add a generous heaping helping of Asian slaw, top with the other side of the bun, and enjoy!
