Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

Quick Pickles:

  • ½ cup rice vinegar

  • ½ cup water

  • 2 tablespoons raw cane sugar

  • 1 teaspoon sriracha sauce

  • 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced

  • ½ small red onion, sliced into petals

Bulgogi:

  • 1 pound lean ground beef

  • ⅔ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 3 green onions, chopped

  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce

  • 1 teaspoon garlic puree

  • 1 teaspoon ginger paste

  • 6 sesame seed burger buns

Directions

  1. Bring rice vinegar, water, sugar, and sriracha to a boil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes. Place cucumber and red onion in a flat-bottomed dish and pour vinegar mixture over the top. Set aside to pickle as you prepare the bulgogi.

  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain and discard grease; return beef to skillet. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, green onions, sesame oil, sriracha, garlic, and ginger. Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce begins to thicken, about 8 minutes.

  3. Serve bulgogi mixture on hamburger buns topped with the pickled cucumbers and onions.
