Ingredients- 140g Cabbage
- 2 Tbsp Sugar
- 4 Tbsp Mayonnaise
- Pinch of Black Pepper
- Store-bought Tteokgalbi (Korean grilled short ribs, adjust to preference)
- Steak Sauce (or Teriyaki Sauce)
- 1 Tomato
- Cheese Slices (e.g., Cheddar)
- Pickle Slices (e.g., Dill Pickles)
- 4 Mini Burger Buns
- Small knob of Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cabbage. Finely shred 140g of cabbage, aiming for the thinnest slices possible. This will ensure it absorbs the dressing well and provides a pleasant crunch.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine the shredded cabbage with 2 tablespoons of sugar, 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix thoroughly until the cabbage is well coated. This mixture will form a delicious, creamy slaw that adds texture and tang to your burgers. For an even fresher taste, you can chill this mixture in the refrigerator.
Step 3
Prepare one fresh tomato by washing it thoroughly. Slice it into four equal wedges. These tomato slices will add a burst of freshness and juiciness to the burgers.
Step 4
Take your 4 mini burger buns and slice them in half horizontally. Lightly butter the cut sides of the buns. Place them cut-side down in a warm pan and toast until golden brown and slightly crisp. This step enhances the bun’s flavor and prevents sogginess.
Step 5
Cook the store-bought Tteokgalbi according to package instructions until nicely browned and heated through. Once cooked, trim the Tteokgalbi patties to fit the size of your mini burger buns. This savory element is the heart of the burger.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to assemble your mini burgers! On the bottom half of each toasted bun, place a slice of cheese. Top the cheese with a slice of tomato, followed by a piece of the Tteokgalbi. Drizzle a bit of steak sauce (or teriyaki sauce) over the Tteokgalbi. Finally, add a few pickle slices and a generous spoonful of your prepared cabbage slaw (about 35g per burger). Place the top bun on, and your delicious Mini Korean BBQ Burgers are ready to be enjoyed!
