Ingredients

• Ground beef - 400 grams (80% lean)
• White miso paste - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Rice vinegar - 1 teaspoon
• Garlic powder - 1 teaspoon
• Ginger powder - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

2. Divide the mixture into two equal portions and shape them into burger patties.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the burger patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach your desired doneness.
4. While the burgers are cooking, prepare the toppings. Slice the cucumber and avocado, and chop the scallions.
