Ingredients

• Ground lamb - 400 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 tablespoon, grated
• Green onion - 2, finely chopped
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Five-spice powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Bao buns - 4
• Cucumber - 1, thinly sliced
• Carrot - 1, julienned

Steps

1. In a large bowl, combine ground lamb, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion, soy sauce, sesame oil, five-spice powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Form the mixture into 2 equal patties, about 2 cm thick.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a little oil. Cook the lamb patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 70°C.
4. While the patties are cooking, prepare the cucumber and carrot salad by mixing the sliced cucumber, julienned carrot, rice vinegar, and half of the chopped cilantro in a bowl.
5. Steam the bao buns according to package instructions, usually about 5-10 minutes.
6. Once the patties are cooked, assemble the burgers by placing each patty in a steamed bao bun, topping with the cucumber salad, a drizzle of hoisin sauce, and the remaining cilantro.
