Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Pickle the cucumber
- Peel the cucumber, if desired; thinly slice the cucumber crosswise.
Spread the cucumber slices on a plate, sprinkle with the rice vinegar, and season lightly with salt. Set aside.
2
Prep and cook the scallions
- Trim the root ends from the scallions.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallions, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and starting to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board to cool slightly, then cut into 1-inch pieces. Do not clean the pan. While the scallions are cooking, prepare the patties.
3
Make and cook the patties
- Cut a small corner from the ground beef packaging and drain off any excess liquid. Transfer to a plate; pat dry with a paper towel. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Using wet hands, form the ground beef into two [four] ½-inch-thick patties. Sprinkle with the shichimi togarashi.
In the same pan used for the scallions, add the patties and cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until browned and cooked to the desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and brush the burgers on both sides with the teriyaki sauce base. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the salad.
4
Make the orange-kale salad; assemble the burgers
- Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange; coarsely chop the fruit. Discard any seeds.
In a large bowl, toss together the kale, orange, scallions, and “creamy” orange dressing; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Place the bun bottoms, cut sides up, on a work surface. Top each with a burger and as many pickled cucumber slices as you like. Close with the bun tops.
Serve
Transfer the burgers and orange-kale salad to individual plates. Serve any remaining pickled cucumber on the side.
