Asian-style mushroom burger tips

You can either have a beef only patty or a combination of beef and pork which adds some extra fat, but not too much, because the mushrooms have lots of moisture. Ask your butcher to make you their favourite burger patty mix. Asian coleslaw doesn’t just add zest and sweetness but a great amount of crunch to your burger. Always toast your burger buns with some butter which also adds some flavour and crunch. These burgers are hearty and fully-loaded with flavours you didn’t know you were looking for.
