Southeast Asian Burgers

1 clove garlic, minced

3 tablespoons bread crumbs

1 pound ground beef or ground turkey

¼ cup chopped cilantro

¼ cup chopped basil

¼ cup chopped mint

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

3 shakes Tabasco

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all the remaining ingredients.

  • Using your hands, gently mix the ingredients together and form 4 patties.

  • Season each patty with salt and pepper.

  • Grill the patties to your liking, about 5 minutes per side for medium.

Serving Marinades

If you are going to use a marinade as a sauce, make sure to bring it to a boil after the marinating foods have been removed. Otherwise, reusing the marinade can make you sick (e.g., food poisoning).

Serves 4

These burgers are great topped with Pickled Chinese Cabbage (see recipe on page 232).
