To make Beefburgers we are going to follow the basic recipe, virtually the same for making Porkburgers, but making suitable alterations to ensure they taste just perfect. |

Beefburgers are a staple food which
most Westerners and kids of all nationalities love.
They are really simple to make, and you can tinker around
with the recipe below to make them suit your own palate.
In China your main problem will be in sourcing suitable
buns, as Chinese ones will contain a ton of extra sugar.
We suggest you try using the round flat breads of Xi'an
style instead.
One thing we will point out is that onions do play an
important role in the final taste. This is very important
for Expats in China, where white onions of any kind
are extremely difficult to find. The common red onions
are either sweet, or very sweet. So are the shallots
for that matter - so you may wish to consider adding
some garlic if you like a pungent and flavoursome taste.
A bit of ginger also works well. |

Cooking Tips:
Step
6
Set stove-top grill or burner to medium-high.
Step 7
Preheat nonstick frying pan. The pan is at the
correct temperature when a drop of water dances
on its surface rather than sticking to it.
Step 8
Place patties in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Flip patties and cook for another minute, and
then add sliced cheese to the tops of patties
if desired.
Step 10
Cover pan and allow burgers to cook for a final
2 minutes. Cook 3 to 4 minutes for well-done burgers.
Step 11
Remove hamburgers from pan and place in hamburger
buns.
Step 12
Add condiments and toppings such as ketchup, mustard,
sliced tomatoes, lettuce, red onions and pickles. |
