Ingredients
 
 

Beef Patty

  • 1 lb ground beef Preferably 80/20 ratio for juiciness
  • 2 tbsp gochujang Korean fermented chili paste
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce Use low-sodium for a balanced flavor
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sugar

Toppings

  • 4 medium burger buns
  • 1 cup kimchi Chopped
  • 1 cup bean sprouts Blanched
  • 4 medium fried eggs Sunny-side up
  • 1 cup julienned carrots Fresh and crisp
  • 1 cup sliced cucumber Thinly sliced for crunch
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds For garnish

Gochujang Sauce

  • 2 tbsp gochujang
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Beef Patty: In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, gochujang, soy sauce, minced garlic, sesame oil, and sugar. Mix gently until just combined. Form into four equal patties, being careful not to overwork the meat.
  • Cook the Patties: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Let them rest for a few minutes before assembling.
  • Make the Gochujang Sauce: Whisk together the gochujang, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Assemble the Burger: Toast the burger buns lightly. Spread gochujang sauce on the bottom bun, add the cooked patty, then layer with kimchi, bean sprouts, julienned carrots, cucumber slices, and a fried egg. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy texture, lightly grill the kimchi before adding it to the burger.
  • If you prefer a spicier burger, add extra gochujang to the sauce or top with sliced fresh chilies.
