Ingredients

  • 4 brioche buns
  • 1 tbsp melted butter, optional
  • sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

To Make The Burgers

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
  • heaping 1/3 cup PF Changs Mongolian Sauce
  • 1 tsp hot chili sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • salt & pepper, to taste

For The Chili Garlic Mayo

  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1 tsp asian garlic chili sauce

For The Hoisin Ketchup

  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

For The Asian Slaw

  • 4 cups coleslaw, large pieces removed
  • 1 cup matchstick carrots
  • 2 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

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!
