    Ingredients & Kitchen Tools I Use


    Instructions

    For the patties: Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and mix well. Form into 5 patties. Grill the burgers until done to your liking, or fry them on a skillet.

    For the slaw: Combine all ingredients and mix it up!

    Assembly: Put Sriracha and mashed avocado on the bun, top with the patty, red onion, tomato, and any other fixins you like. Top it off with a generous amount of the slaw - you can also serve extra slaw on the side. Enjoy!

      Interesting fusion of the west and the east, I’ve made it mini-sized in a party, which in Pai’s words, is always better, lol
