CRISPY FRIES
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Potato fries on a roasting tray. Coat generously in oil and season. Roast in the hot oven until crispy, 25-30 minutes (shifting halfway).
CARAMELISED ONIONS
Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the roughly sliced Onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). At the halfway mark, add a sweetener (to taste). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the grated Ginger and fry until fragrant. Remove from the pan, season, and cover.
SOME PREP
In a bowl, combine a squeeze of the Lime juice (to taste), 1 tsp of sweetener, 1 tbsp of water, the lime zest (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander, and seasoning. Toss through the Cucumber ribbons and set aside in the fridge. In a separate bowl, combine the kewpie mayo and the sweet sriracha (to taste). Set aside for serving.
PATTY
In a bowl, season the Beef mince. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mince from sticking to them and shape into a 2cm thick patty (don’t worry if it is a bit wet!). Return the pan, wiped down, to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the patty until browned and cooked to your preference, 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and season.
TOASTED BUN
Halve the burger bun and spread butter (optional) or oil over the cut-side. Place a pan over medium heat. When hot, toast the bun, cut-side down, until golden, 1-2 minutes.
ASSEMBLE!
Top the bottom half of the burger bun with the rinsed salad leaves and the patty. Add the caramelised Ginger onions, drizzle over the sweet sriracha mayo (to taste), and top with the limey Cucumber and the remaining coriander. Serve the thinly sliced onions, any remaining cucumber, and the salad leaves on the side with the fries and any remaining sriracha mayo for dipping. Enjoy, Chef!
