Instructions

Directions
Start charcoal grill and let heat 30 minutes prior to cooking

Prepare the Ginger Spread by bringing cream cheese to room temperature. Once the cheese is softened combine in a mixing bowl with the ginger, mayonnaise, soy sauce and chives. Mix well and let sit until burgers are finished cooking.

To make the grilled onion/carrot mix. Put olive oil in grill pan. After the oil heats up add the garlic and let it soften. Then add the carrots and green onion. Cook them for two to three minutes and remove them from the heat.

To make the patties, combine the ground chuck, ground pork, Chenin Blanc, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, shallot, water chestnuts and black pepper in a large bowl stirring a few times, just enough to mix ingredients. Form six patties from the mixture adding a few ice cubes to each patty. Brush both sides of the burger with sesame oil and place them on the grill. Cook patties for 10 minutes on each side flipping patties only once.

Spread a generous amount of the green onion spread on the top of the bun. Place several green onions and carrots from the stir-fry mixture on top of the onion spread. Place the hamburger, close bun and enjoy.
