Korean Kimchi Burgers

3 cups finely shredded napa cabbage

1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions, divided

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided

4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger, divided

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, divided

1 1/2 teaspoons Asian chili garlic sauce, divided

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 1/2 pounds ground beef chuck

2 tablespoons soy sauce

4 hamburger buns, split

Step 1

Heat grill to high (450° to 550°).

Step 2

Mix cabbage, 1/4 cup green onions, the vinegar, 1 tsp. each garlic and ginger, 2 tsp. sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp. chili sauce in a large bowl. Set relish aside, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise with remaining 1 tsp. chili sauce.

Step 3

Combine beef, soy sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup green onions, 1 tbsp. each garlic and ginger, and 1 tsp. sesame oil. Shape into 4 patties, each about 1/2 in. thick.

Step 4

Oil cooking grate, using tongs and a wad of oiled paper towels. Grill burgers, covered, turning once, 7 to 8 minutes total for medium. In the final minutes, toast buns.

Step 5

Spread bun bottoms with chili mayonnaise. Set burgers on buns. With a slotted spoon, put some cabbage relish on each. Serve with remaining relish.

Step 6

Shortcut: Omit the relish and use kimchi from the refrigerated section of a supermarket or Asian market; the recipe will be saltier.
