Switch up barbecue night with these hamburgers with a South East Asian inspired flavour palate. Get these delicious flavours by using the same base as my Asian mince meat to mix with your mince meat.

Making picnic food

Use your leftover hamburgers to make a delicious picnic lunch by dressing the hamburgers at home, wrap them up in wax paper or beeswax wrappers and put them in your picnic basket.

Batch cooking

This recipe is exceptional suitable for batch cooking either for a large party, or to have a large supply of easy meals in the freezer, ready for those days when you do not have the time or energy to cook.

Cooking the hamburgers in the oven really makes this recipe so easy and frees up your time in the kitchen.

Freezable

Just like my other versions of hamburgers, these work perfectly well to freeze both raw and cooked.

If freezing them raw, cook them straight from the freezer by sticking them in the oven for slightly longer than if you were cooking them from room temperature.

If you freeze them cooked you can either stick them in the oven to heat up again or you can put them in a frying pan.

Variations

If the Asian flavours does not suit everyone in your family, you can easily fit this recipe around all tastes by using one of my many other hamburger flavours. How about a Mediterranean taste or why not a smokey barbecue version.

Ingredients

  • 400 g mince beef or turkey
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger grated
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 spring onion
  • 4 Brioche buns

Wasabi mayonnaise

  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp wasabi

Optional

  • Bok choi – quickly blanched in boiling water
  • Pickled carrots
  • Pickled red onions

Instructions

  • Take out the meat ahead of time to bring it to room temperature.
  • Set your oven to 200 °C (390 °F)
  • Grate the ginger and juice the lime.
  • Cut your spring onion once lengthwise and then in smaller pieces.

  • Make 4 patties out of the mince mixture, 100g each.
  • Put the patties on a parchment paper and a cookie sheet.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, turn patties after five minutes (not absolutely necessary if you’re short on time or have a big batch of hamburgers to make).
  • If you prefer a grilled texture, put under broil for an additional two minutes.
  • Mix the mayonnaise with the wasabi to make the wasabi mayonnaise. Taste and add more wasabi if necessary.
  • Roast the brioche buns in a dry frying pan until golden.
  • Spread wasabi mayonnaise on one side of the brioche buns, add the hamburger and any other toppings you like.
  • Serve with potato wedges or chips.

Notes

Instead of wasabi mayonnaise, try wasabi hummus
