Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Finely mince 70 g onion, then wrap it in a cloth and squeeze gently.

    Remove excess liquid, but do not wring it completely dry because a little moisture helps keep the patties juicy.

  2. 2

    Combine 220 g ground beef, 120 g ground pork, onion, 1.5 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, garlic, sesame oil, and pepper.

    Knead until the mixture turns sticky and holds together without loose bits.

  3. 3

    Divide the mixture into 2 portions and shape each one slightly wider than the bun.

    Keep the patties flat and press a shallow dent in the center so they do not puff up during cooking.

  4. 4

    Rest the patties in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set their shape.

    Preheat a nonstick pan thoroughly over medium heat, then add the patties.

  5. 5

    Cook the patties for 4 to 5 minutes per side over medium heat.

    Lower the heat if they darken too quickly, and check that the thickest part is cooked through.

  6. 6

    Lightly toast the buns and divide the 2 tablespoons mayonnaise evenly over them.

    Add the lettuce and fully cooked patties, then assemble immediately.

Tips

Avoid overly thick patties so they cook through evenly.
Chill the mixture for 10 minutes before cooking for better shape retention.
