Hoisin Burger with Asian Slaw

Here is a fun way to dress up a burger.   This burger has nice Asian flavor and paired up with the Asian Slaw they make a perfect match.

To make the Hoisin Burger:

For 8 large burgers, you will need:
2lbs of ground meat.  I used 1lb chicken, 1lb pork
2Tbs of Soy sauce
1tsp sesame oil
1 Tbs grated ginger
3-4 cloves of garlic grated
2Tbs of Hoisin sauce
some scallion finely chopped (bottom can be used) -optional
1 tsp of red chili flakes (or to taste)
salt and pepper to taste (if necessary)

Mix all the ingredients well and make 8 large patties.  The ground chicken/pork is not very dense and it is hard to form the burger in your hands.  So I made very large meatballs and placed them on the hot griddle.  Then I pressed down with my fingers (or you can used a spoon) to form the patty.

I fried them in two batches on a hot non-stick griddle.  I did not use any oil to fry my burgers.  But you need to use a little oil to keep them from sticking, please do so.

Cook and flip the burger half way to get both sides caramelized





To make the Asian Slaw:

You will need:

1lb of shredded cabbage or one 14.5 oz bag of shredded coleslaw in a bag (about 6-7 cups of cabbage).
1 carrot grated
1 bunch of spring onions (green part) sliced
1-2 green chilies (serrano or jalapeno) seeded and finely diced

For the sauce:
2Tbs of Rice Wine Vinegar
2Tbs of Soy Sauce
1Tbs of Sesame Oil
1/2 Tbs of sesame seeds (optional)
2 tsp of oil oil
1 tsp of sugar
1 tsp of ginger root grated
1 clove of garlic grated
salt and pepper to taste

Mix well and toss with the coleslaw vegetables.

Chill and serve with burger or any Asian meal.
