Diana, I made these Sunday evening. To be perfectly honest, hamburgers are nothing new to me. I've had more than my fair share of burgers in the past and I make a pretty good one myself. But, let me tell you, these were GREAT, definitely some of the best I have ever had--what a wonderful idea! My kids and myself were in heaven. We had them for both dinner and lunch the next day.

We can't find chopped coriander here, so I used 2 teaspoons of the powdered type. I also added about 1/4 teaspoon Chinese red pepper sauce. Lastly, I cooked my burger patties in a skillet and splashed a bit of rice wine on them as they were cooking.

Your hoisin burgers were WONDERFUL! Thanks for making our day! Regards, Cookin' Dad

1 pound lean burger
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped green onion
3 tablespoons chopped coriander
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger root
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil

In a bowl combine beef, bread crumbs, green onions, coriander, hoisin sauce, garlic, ginger and egg; mix well.

Makes 5 burgers.

In a small bowl whisk together water, hoisin sauce and sesame oil. Brush half of the sauce over top of burgers.

Place on greased grill and barbecue, or place on rack on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes. Turn patties once, and brush with remaining sauce.
