It turned out well and matter a fact I put the wasabi in the mix (about 2tbsp) and it tasted very well
I followed what other reviewers said and added soy sauce, wasabi paste, ginger, garlic and salt and pepper to the meat before cooking it. I used ground turkey. For toppings we used mushrooms that had been sautéed in ground ginger, wasabi paste and soy sauce; pineapple; tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. And of course the mayo wasabi mix. Everyone was raving about these burger about how tasty and juicy they were.
really good- easy to make and spicy kick. I also added the soy sauce and ginger.
This is the greatest burger I’ve ever made! But I dropped the wasabi.
ok…not much different than regular ol’ burger
These were a hit! I even substituted real meat for fauxmeat and they turned out amazing.
That thar wasabi is a good twist. Add some horseradish, too, and your in business! Good recipe!
I thought this was super tasty! My hubby didn’t like the sauce but he doesn’t like mayo so that was prob. why. I added wasabi and 1 T. soy sauce to the meat mixture.
These were really good. Instead of spreading the wasabi on bottom and mayo on top I mixed them together spread on the burger while it was still on the grill then topped with provolone cheese since I didnt have any cheddar. I will be making these again. Thanks!
luved the sauce, burger was just ok
I used Swiss cheese and added half of a grilled chile poblano (similar to the green chiles in a can, but fresh). I also sprinkled some ground black pepper and garlic chips ontop of the burgers prior to putting them on the grill.
OMG! So juicy and delicious! I added chopped jalapenos.
These are a great place to start, but they need help. I added Five Spice, Ginger and Teriyaki Sauce to the burgers and left off the cheese. Added wasabi to the mayo along with a little plum sauce. THEN they were great!
These were really good! I mixed the wasabi in with the meat, onions, and garlic, and added some soy sauce as suggested by someone. I used medium cheddar and mixed a little wasabi & soy sauce in with the mayo. I will definately make these again, but may play with it a bit – they seemed to be missing something, just not sure what it is. My husband liked them a lot and he is hard to please.
I just cooked this recipe. These burgers are delicious. I read a few of the reviews on this recipe before I attempted this myself. I modified the recipe a bit. I added chopped celery, soy sauce and chopped ginger to the ground beef mixture (before cooking) to add moisture and a kick to the cooked patty. I did not use cheese. I topped off the burgers with chopped mushrooms sauteed in a soy sauce, cornstarch and water mixture,then, I added the usual lettuce and tomatoe toppings. Also, I used whole wheat buns instead. My husband absolutely loved these burgers! I have now cooked these burgers three nights in a row. These burgers are very flavorful and have a tasty kick!
Very tasty. I added the wasabi directly to the meat as well as using wasabi mayo. I used with ground turkey with no problems.
For the first time, I didn’t change a thing and I loved it!
Really great burger! It was a bit dry , though. I would reccommend adding some Worchestershire sauce or maybe even soy sauce to the burgers before grilling. I also used wasabi mayo.
Since my kids were babies I’ve always made a heart shaped meatloaf for Valentines Day, however, stupid me, just made a meatloaf last week. I obviously wasn’t thinking! Because Tuesday evenings is one of my daughters dance nights I had to make something quick, but still wanted it to be a tad festive. Decided on these burgers which, by the way, I did shape into hearts. HA! I used more seasonings and a wasabi mayo. Very difficult to find a burger recipe that doesn’t call for breadcrumbs, so this really fit the bill. Kids and hubby were happy and I thank you!
These were a nice change from a regular burger. I added the wasabi paste directly to the ground meat before shaping into patties. We did not use cheese and the mayo was a wasabi mayonnaise. I’ll definitely make these again.
I’m pretty impressed! I used ground turkey instead of hamburger, but still really really good. Thanks!
