Instructions
To make the burger patties
- In a bowl, add your minced shallot, minced garlic, ground beef, fish sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper. Mix until combined. Allow to marinate for 15 minutes.
- Form your ground beef mixture into equal-sized patties.
- In a hot pan, add neutral oil. Working in batches, add your patties and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness. Remove from pan and allow to rest.
To make the quick pickles
- In a sieve over a bowl, add your sliced carrots and daikon radish. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and allow to sit for 10 minutes until water is released and you can bend the carrots or daikon radish without it snapping.
- Rinse your carrots and daikon radish under cold water to remove any salt. Squeeze them to remove excess water.
- In a heat-proof bowl, add your boiling water, 1 teaspoon of salt, white vinegar, and sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add your carrots and daikon radish and allow to pickle for 30 minutes.
To assemble
