Asian Burger

Instructions

• 1
  Place the ground beef in a bowl. Add sesame oil, rice vinegar (15 ml), curry powder, soy sauce, chili sauce, and salt. Mix thoroughly and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
• 2
  In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, ketchup, and peanut butter. Whisk until smooth.
• 3
  Cut the carrots and cucumber into thin strips (julienne). Slice the red onion into very thin rings. In a bowl, mix the remaining rice vinegar (30 ml) with sugar and let the vegetables marinate briefly in this mixture.
• 4
  Form 4 equally sized burgers from the meat mixture. Cook them on a pan or grill for approximately 3–4 minutes per side (depending on your preferred doneness). You can brush the meat with a little butter during cooking for better flavor.
• 5
  Slice the baguettes lengthwise, spread with the remaining butter, and toast briefly on the cut side until crispy.
• 6
  Spread the bottom half of the baguette with peanut dressing, place the meat, add the marinated vegetables, and generously sprinkle with fresh cilantro. Cover with the top half of the baguette and serve immediately.
