Ingredients

Scale

For the Bulgogi Pork Patties

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped

For the Gochujang Mayonnaise

  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1/2 tablespoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)

For Assembly

  • Brioche hamburger buns, toasted
  • Fresh kimchi, to taste
  • Sliced cucumbers, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill or skillet: Heat your outdoor grill to high heat or preheat a stovetop skillet to medium-high to ensure even cooking of the pork patties.
  2. Prepare gochujang mayo: In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and gochujang until smooth and set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Mix the pork mixture: Place the ground pork in a large bowl, add dark brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, and finely chopped onion. Gently mix together using your hands until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat for tender patties.
  4. Form patties: Divide the pork mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 3/4 inch thick for even cooking.
  5. Cook the patties: Place the patties on the grill or skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) to ensure they are fully cooked and juicy.
  6. Assemble the burgers: Toast brioche buns lightly, spread the gochujang mayonnaise on the bottom bun, add the cooked pork patty, top with fresh kimchi and sliced cucumbers, then finish with the top bun.

Notes

  • For a less spicy version, reduce the amount of gochujang in the mayo or omit it altogether.
  • You can substitute ground beef or chicken for pork if preferred.
  • Make sure not to overmix the pork mixture to keep the patties tender and juicy.
  • Toasting the buns helps prevent them from becoming soggy from the kimchi and sauce.
  • Always check that the pork is fully cooked to avoid any foodborne illness.
