  • 150g kimchi
  • 4 tbsp barbecue sauce
  • 50g mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp gochujang
  • 500g beef mince
  • 4 seeded burger buns, halved

Method

7 steps
  1. Step 1

    Put the kimchi in a sieve over a bowl; press to release as much liquid as possible. Mix the barbecue sauce with the kimchi juice; set aside for glazing. Combine the mayo and gochujang in a bowl; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Finely chop the drained kimchi and add to a bowl with the beef and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix, then divide into 4 and shape into patties.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large non-stick frying pan or griddle over a medium heat. Toast the buns cut-side down for 1-2 mins; set aside.

  4. Step 4

    In the same pan, cook the patties over a medium heat for 3-4 mins on each side, brushing each side with the barbecue glaze for the final min. Remove to a plate and leave to rest for 5 mins.

  5. Step 5

    Meanwhile, fry the eggs in the oil until cooked to your liking; transfer to a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Spread the gochujang mayo on both bun halves, then stack the burgers: bun base, lettuce, tomato, pickle, patty, egg, onions (if using) and bun lid. Dive in!

    Recipe Tip: Allow 5 mins extra time for resting.
