Thai Burgers
Ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef (93% lean or leaner)
- 1 cup shredded Napa cabbage
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
- 1/2 cup chopped green onions
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon hot chili sauce
- 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 4 whole wheat or white hamburger buns, split
Directions:
Combine cabbage and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a medium bowl; set aside.
Combine ground beef, green onion, ginger and chili sauce in a medium bowl, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Lightly shape into four 1/2-inch thick patties.
Cooking tip: Hot chili sauce, an Asian condiment made from red chilies, garlic and vinegar, imparts a tangy, spicy heat to dishes. Hot chili sauce is available in Asian markets and the Asian section of most supermarkets.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Place patties in skillet; cook 10 to 12 minutes until an instant-read thermometer inserted horizontally into center registers 160°F, turning occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
Cooking tip: Cooking times are for fresh or thoroughly thawed ground beef. Ground beef should be cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F. Color is not a reliable indicator of ground beef doneness.
Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, hoisin sauce, the remaining tablespoon of lime juice and sesame oil in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Place one burger on the bottom half of each bun; top evenly with peanut butter and cabbage mixtures. Close the sandwiches with the top half of the buns. Enjoy!
