Ingredients
- 600 g Beef (minced)
- 2 tbsp White miso paste
- 2 Spring onions (finely sliced)
- 1 tsp Wasabi paste
- ยผ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 Lebanese cucumbers
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (toasted)

- ยฝ tsp Sesame oil
- 4 Buns
Instructions
- Mix the beef, miso paste and spring onions together and form into 4 patties.
- Mix the wasabi paste and mayonnaise together and set aside.
- Peel the cucumber into thin ribbons, discarding the watery centre. Toss with the sesame seeds, vinegar and sesame oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Preheat a ridged chargrill or barbeque to moderately high. Lightly brush the patties with vegetable oil. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until cooked to your liking. Set aside to rest for 5 minutes.

Notes
- For a healthier version, try it without the bun and/or mayonnaise.
- To up your vegetable intake, try adding other salad ingredients such as sliced tomato, shredded lettuce and grated carrot or beetroot.
- Add a little more wasabi to the mayonnaise if you prefer a spicier kick.
