See below the step-by-step preparation:

1. Cooking the Fresh Burger: Cook the Fresh Burger (150g) in a pan or on the grill until it is golden brown and done, and make sure it stays juicy.

2. Toast the Brioche Bun: Toast both halves of the Brioche Bun in a pan with garlic butter until they are lightly golden brown and crispy.

3. Make the Spicy Gochujang Mayo: Mix mayonnaise, gochujang, honey, rice vinegar and sesame oil well together into a smooth, spicy sauce.

4. Build the burger:

   • Start with the bottom half of the toasted brioche bun.
   • Place a handful of fresh lettuce on the bun.
   • Add the cooked Fresh Burger.
   • Place a slice of Real Irish Cheddar on top of the burger so that it melts from the heat of the burger.
   • Add a spoon of kimchi for a spicy and sour layer.
   • Cover the kimchi with the spicy gochujang mayo for extra heat and creaminess.
   • Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds over the mayo for a nutty flavor and texture.
   • Finish with crispy spring onions for a fresh and spicy crunch.

5. Finishing: Place the top half of the toasted brioche bun on the burger and serve immediately.

Our Brioche Burger Bun has a light sweetness that offers the perfect counterbalance to the spicy and umami flavors. At the same time, it retains its structure, so your burger stays nicely in shape until the last bite.
