Hot Korean pickled cabbage (kimchee) is our favourite topping for this fabulous burger. You can make the Quick Kimchee, buy it at a Korean grocery store or even replace its crunch (but not its heat) with shredded iceberg lettuce and tomato.

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (0.5 oz/14 g) dried shiitake mushrooms
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup canned whole water chestnuts, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated gingerroot
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground pork

Preparation

In small bowl, soak mushrooms in boiling water until softened, about 20 minutes. Reserving 2 tbsp (25 mL) of the soaking liquid, drain mushrooms; squeeze dry. Chop mushrooms; set aside.

In large bowl, beat together egg, soy sauce and reserved mushroom soaking liquid; stir in chopped mushrooms, water chestnuts, garlic, ginger, green onions, cornstarch and pepper. Add pork; mix just until combined. Shape into four 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper in airtight container and refrigerate for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator.)

Place on greased grill over medium heat; close lid and grill, turning once, until digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre reads 160°F (71°C), about 15 minutes.
