KOREAN BURGERS

1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin
1/2 cup chopped green onions
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh peeled ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
FOR SERVING:
6 whole-wheat hamburger buns, split
6 red lettuce leaves
6 tablespoons thinly sliced radishes
rice wine vinegar (optional)
kimchi (optional)

Prepare grill.

Combine first seven ingredients. Divide mixture into six equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch-thick patty.

Place patties on a grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes on each side or until a thermometer registers 160 degrees. Remove from grill; let patties stand 5 minutes.

Place buns, cut side down on grill rack; grill 1 minute or until toasted.

Place each patty on a bun with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 tablespoon radishes and serve. Top with a splash of rice wine vinegar and a side of kimchi for more authentic flavor.

Makes 6 servings
