Wa Wa Wasabi Burgers

This was our dinner last night. It's a very spicy burger, the meat is seasoned with Wasabi and so is the sauce. Our side was baked sweet potato fries. Look at those pretty buns! King's Hawaiian now makes burger/sandwich buns and they were delicious.

Wa Wa Wasabi Burgers-
1 pound lean ground beef
1/8 cup onion powder
1 T. minced garlic
1 tsp. Wasabi paste for meat and 2 T. for sauce
1 T. soy sauce
salt and pepper to taste
4 buns
mayo
pepperjack cheese

Mix together the beef, onion powder, minced garlic, wasabi paste, soy sauce, salt & pepper. Shape into 4 patties. Heat a non stick cooking pan on med-high heat and cook the patties about 4-5 min. per side until cooked through.

Toast your buns! Then mix 2 T. wasabi paste with 2 T. mayo together for the sauce. Spread on each bun. Then build your burger. These burgers DO have kick to them, so beware! My hubby wants to omit the spicy sauce next time for his.
