Excellent recipe – thanks!
I made this a couple of times already and it’s always a hit in our family. It’s a very nice alternative for our usual burger steak. Thank you Mai for sharing this.
hi mai. I made this today and its the best hamburger ive made. the sauce is delicious.
I love your site. the recipes are easy to follow and most don’t require hard to find ingredients (I’m from the us). the presentation of the food you make always looks fantastic.
thank you so much for creating this resource. I have great results using your recipes!
can i use minced chicken instead of ground beef?
Kevin,
That’s great to hear! :)
Hey Mai, I made this recipe for lunch and it came out very delicious. When I feel like eating burgers, I make it instead of buying because this tastes better, cheaper, and more fresh.
