The Banh Mi Burger

Prep Time:30 minutes Cook Time: 45 minutes Servings: 4 minutes

I'm combining my favorite sandwich with my other favorite sandwich to create my new favorite sandwich. If, that is, you consider a burger a sandwich, which I do. But forget about the burger, because no matter what kind of meat you use for your sandwich, learning how to make a banh mi version of it, is something everyone should know how to do.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pound ground beef chuck
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon five-spice powder
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sriracha
  • 2 french sandwich rolls
  • ½ cup julienned carrot
  • ½ cup julienned daikon radish
  • 1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
  • 8 thin slices english cucumber
  • 2 tablespoons sliced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste
Directions:
  1. Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Combine beef, fish sauce, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and 5-spice powder in a bowl, and mix until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
  3. Mix mayonnaise, hoisin, and Sriracha together in a small bowl for sauce. Keep chilled until needed. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  4. Cut open rolls, remove about 1/2 of the inside crumb, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake rolls in the preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, using damp hands, shape beef mixture into two burger patties sized to match your rolls or buns. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
  7. Combine carrots and daikon radish in a bowl. Add rice vinegar and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
  8. Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat.
  9. Cook burgers over the hot coals until desired doneness is reached and they spring back to the touch, turning as needed, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  10. Slather toasted buns with mayo mixture. Place cucumbers and jalapeno slices on bottom of rolls, and top with cooked burgers. Top with carrot-radish mixture and cilantro.
  11. Serve and enjoy!
