I love my kimchi burger sliders. I mean who wouldn’t love a few bites sliders?

Summer is a wonderful time for grilling and enjoying the abundance of fresh produce. 

While I may not be a big fan of summer in general, I always make the most of it by indulging in delicious grilled meals, going to the pool, or taking a mini vacation close to the beach.

One of my all-time favorite creations is the kimchi burger sliders. Being a huge fan of kimchi, it was no surprise that I came up with this recipe years ago for a client. 

Although I never shared it on my website, I believe it’s never too late to do so. Recently, my daughter has developed a love for kimchi as well. 

To accommodate her dietary preferences, I usually make turkey or chicken burgers for her, as she no longer consumes red meat.

These little gems, the kimchi burger sliders, have become a family favorite. I truly hope you will enjoy them just as much as we do. The recipe is incredibly simple, requiring only a few ingredients to create a truly delicious dish. 

This recipe is foolproof. I’ve been making it for many years and I know that you guys would love it.

Give it a try and don’t forget to share your pictures with me. I am always thrilled to receive emails or DMs showcasing your culinary creations.

Now, I’m curious to know if you’re a fan of kimchi. Would you be interested in making my kimchi burger sliders?

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 pounds ground beef, 80/20
• ½ onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced 
½ bunch Italian parsley, finely chopped
1 tablespoon sweet paprika
2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black pepper
• 1 whole large egg

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Topping:

• Sliced Cheese
• 1 cup of kimchi, chopped
• Sriracha Mayo or ay other sauce
• Butter/Bibb or Boston Lettuce

Instructions

1. Mix beef, onion, garlic, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl.
   In a smaller bowl or a cup combine mixed large egg, olive oil baking soda, bread crumbs, and water, let it sit for a minute, then add it to the meat and by hand mix until thoroughly combined.
2. Make meatballs then smash them a bit to create burger patties.
   Note* I usually make 2.6-3 oz burger patties for mini burgers and serve them on slider buns to make 6 servings/12 sliders/2-sliders per person.
3. Grill for 5-7 minutes per side. This depends on how you like your burgers, medium rare or well done, so cook them to your liking. Just before the end of the cooking time toast the slider buns for about 1 minute or so.
4. Assemble the sliders by spreading 1 to 2 tsp of any sauce of your choice, we love Sriracha Mayo, on the bottom half of the bun. Add lettuce, and top with a burger patty, cheese slice, and chopped kimchi.
5. Complete with a piercing through-the-whole slider with a bamboo pick to hold everything in place. Serve immediately!

   

Notes

If the cheese slice is too large for the slicer you can cut it into 4 smaller pieces or in half.

These Classic Patty Melt Sandwiches are so simple, mouthwatering, and extremely easy to make. It is probably one of my favorites just because I absolutely love the combination of beef patty, cheese, and caramelized onions.
I mean, who would not love this?! It is a sandwich of my foodie dreams.

My family went bananas over it. You see, my husband and I didn’t grow up eating it like many of our American friends.
It was a completely new experience when I first made it compared to some of you eating it in your school cafeteria or diners.

However, I can say that I am so glad that I was the one who introduced this American Classic Sammie to my family. Indeed! It is a must-have at least once a month.

What is Patty Melt?

As I said, patty melt is a sandwich consisting of a hamburger patty with melted cheese and topped with caramelized onions between two slices of griddled bread, traditionally rye or marbled rye. However, sourdough or Texas toast usually is substituted in some regions, including the southern U.S.A.

Well, It is unclear when the patty melt was precisely invented. There are records that it was served as early as the 1940s. The patty melt is a variant of the traditional American cheeseburger, but instead of using it in a bun, it was served on the toasted bread.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds Laura’s Lean Ground Beef
• 1 tsp Table salt
• 1 tsp Ground black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4-1 stick of butter, unsalted, divided

   equal portions (about 6 ounces each). Form each portion loosely into the thick burger to fit your bread slices, then make a deep depression in the center with your thumb.

3. Meanwhile, turn the stove to medium and heat your skillet, griddle, or a frying pan then add unsalted butter.

   butter. Toss every 2 to 3 minutes until the onions are soft and golden brown. About 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside!
5. You can grill burgers or use a skillet/griddle. Since it is a grilling season, I thought of making my burger on the grill.
6. For the grill: Grill the burgers until golden brown about 4 minutes on one side, flip, and grill 4 minutes for medium-rare. Please make your burger doneness your preferences.
7. If you are cooking on the sauté pan, skillet, or griddle: Heat the oil in the skillet or griddle over high heat until the oil begins to shimmer; Turn down the heat t medium, then cook burgers for 3-4 minutes on each side for medium-rare. When done set aside.
8. Spread a thin layer of butter on each slice of bread.
9. Place a slice or two of cheese, a tablespoon of caramelized onions, a burger, a bit more of carnalized onions and top it off with the cheese. Place another slice of bread on top.
10. Heat your skillet or a griddle, then toast the sandwich on both
    sides for a few minutes until golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is melted. Slice in half and serve right away.

Classic Beer Battered Fried Fish is easy, simple, and satisfies all the craving for fish and chips.

You could defiantly make thicker French fries or steak fries, which reminds me the most of the British chips. My kids are mad about these air-fryer potatoes. These potatoes look as they should, rusting and homemade. You cannot even compare homemade to store-bought french fries.

Anyways, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to make this fantastic classic dish, just a bit of patience, a few tools, great ingredients, and tasty fish.

My family loves and enjoyed fish recipes, so I was surprised to see leftovers, but I was so happy to have several pieces.

My youngest one and I had a fantastic brunch the next day. We make tasty sandwiches, which was extremely satisfying.

For this recipe, I partnered with Sitka Salmon Shares again, as some of you might remember that I’ve been in partnership with last year.

So I am thrilled that we decided to partner this year as well. I genuinely love what this company stands for, their story, and their tasty fish, of course!

Classic Beer Battered Fried Fish

An easy and simple recipe for Fish & Chips.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 30 minutes

Total Time 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 6-8 thick cod fillets
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 2 egg whites, whipped
• 1.5 cups plain flour
• 1 tsp turmeric powder (for the color)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 170ml dark beer (6oz)
• Sea Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil for deep fryer
• Lemon wedges and tartar sauce

Instructions

1. Prep fish first. If the fillets are long and seem larger then slice into smaller fillets. Lay the fish fillets on a couple of kitchen towel sheets and pat dry very well. Season fish fillets with sea salt. Just a good pinch for each fillet.
2. Add cornstarch to the plate and dip each filet on both sites into cornstarch, shake off any excess. Set aside.
3. At this point turn the oil to heat. It should be at the oil temperature is still 350 degrees.
4. Mix 2 egg whites with your electric mixer until you see peaks; set aside.
5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, a good pinch of salt, turmeric. Mix it well to combine dry ingredients.
6. Add beer to the flour mixture and continue mixing until you have a thick, smooth batter.
7. Fold egg whites into the batter. Beaten egg whites give this batter its leavening strength as well as its structural quality. It forms fluffy, tender pouches around the fish.
8. Carefully, drop each fillet into the hot oil. Fry for approximately 10 minutes, or until the batter is crisp and golden, turning the fillets from time to time with a large slotted spoon.
9. Once cooked, remove the fillets from the hot oil and drain on kitchen paper.
10. Transfer fish to a large baking pan, then place it into 350 degrees preheated oven. This will finish the fish and keep the beer batter crispy. This is also how you will reheat your fish. 350F for 10 to 15 minutes.
11. Once ready, sprinkle fish of sea salt and serve with lemon slices and tartar sauce.

For the Chips:

2 pounds of potatoes

1 quart/1 liter vegetable oil (or use air fryer)

POTATOES

AIR FRIER METHOD:

1. Cut the potatoes a bit thicker. they should look more like steak fries.
2. Place the chips into a colander and rinse under cold running water.
3. Pat dry potato slices and add to the air fryer basket.
4. Cook at the pre-setting or like me at 375F for 17-20 minutes depending on potatoes, as well as air-fryer.

*You can fry them your skillet, in batches with 1/2 cup of oil, or deep fryer with 30+ oz of oil or like me, you could use your air-fryer. Note that it is not the same as deep frying but it does the job if you wish to avoid fried potatoes.

Notes

Your Questions:

Can I air fryer for the last step instead of my oven?

YES! You can certainly use your air fryer.

I don't use beer, what else I could use as a substitute?

You may use nonalcoholic beer or seltzer water.
