The toasted bun gets mayonnaise and lettuce before the patty goes on.
Ingredients
Instructions
- 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
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
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
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
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
Lightly toast the buns and divide the 2 tablespoons mayonnaise evenly over them.
Add the lettuce and fully cooked patties, then assemble immediately.
