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.
  • Mix the mince with the soy sauce, ginger, lime and spring onions.
  • 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
