The Unagi Burger
Ingredients
1/2 cup panko
1 egg
1/2 cup green onions sliced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons of sesame oil
8 pieces shaved cucumber ribbons (2 per burger)
4 whole wheat baker's rolls
Preparation

4
Form patties and pat together tightly. Because of the volume of ingredients in these burgers… they will fall apart easily on the grill.
5
Test one of the patties to see if it is holding up on the grill and not falling apart. These are delicate burgers to cook. Be sure to coat grill with non-stick spray. If it’s falling apart too much, try browning it in a skillet first so the outside is a little done. B careful not to brown it too much or it’ll dry out on the grill.
6
Brush sesame oil on the inside of the split baker’s roll and toast on the upper or outer edges of grill. When rolls are lightly toasted, spread wasabi sauce on top bun and add broccoli sprouts. Place meat on bottom bun and 2 cucumber ribbons on top of meat. Carefully fold together and you have The Unagi Burger!

About
This Japanese version of the burger is probably one of my favorites. It’s light and refreshing. You almost forget you’re eating a burger! Biting into a combination of fresh ginger, crisp cucumber and crunchy broccoli sprouts brings you a burst of surprising sweet and tangy goodness.
