1/2 cup bean sprouts

1/2 cup carrots, cut into matchstick pieces

1/2 cup scallions, sliced

1/2 cup chopped peanuts

1/2 cup chopped pickled jalapenos

 

PATTIES

2 pounds ground chuck

1/2 cup grated white onion

3 cloves minced garlic

1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves

2 teaspoons Asian chili sauce

2 teaspoons Chinese five-spice powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pepper

 

Vegetable oil, for brushing on grill rack

6 King’s Hawaiian Original Hamburger Buns

 

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

 

To make the Pad Thai sauce, in a saucepan cook all of the ingredients over medium heat until thickened. Set aside.

 

To make the slaw, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

 

To make the patties combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and mix gently but thoroughly. Form the mixture into 6 patties.

 

Brush the grill with olive oil. Place the patties on the grill, cover and cook, turning once, for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. During the final 2 minutes of cooking, place the buns, cut side down, around the outer edges of the grill to lightly toast.

 

To assemble, toss the slaw with the Pad Thai sauce. Place a burger patty on each bun bottom followed by some slaw. Add the bun tops and serve.
