In response to Chef 443166: 1. Bread crumbs or soaked bread add texture; this works particularly well when extra lean ground beef is used; 2. The Egg hold2 the mixture together; 3. The hole in the middle allows the burgers to drain and keep their shape..the sugestion that this =dry burgers is absurd! 4. Allowing the mixture to marinate prior to cooking is .. "a given" any cook worth their salt knows this 5. If you have to baste your burgers during cooking, you have obviously either left something out or not mixed them properly.. And .. please! .. when did brushing your favorite sauce on the burgers after flipping become taboo?? Cheers .. It seems my comments unwittingly touched a nerve.. mea culpa .. chef 443166 .. My original comment was merely defending a great recipe after your rather sarcastic comments. and adding a comment of my own. May I respectfully suggest you take your daily meds before accusing me of insanity, I am sure your will feel much better for it. Happy cooking and cheers

Thanks for such a GREAT recipe, Di! Very delicious! Had company over and everyone really loved them! A guest did not care for green onions, so I minced about 1/2 C sweet onion, (I doubled the recipe); I used ground garlic, wet in the jar, same for ginger, and used only 1/2 of the amount for doubled recipe, but will use more next time. Didn't know if the ground would be too powerful...but these were SO good! Yum!!! :o) UPDATE: Diana, Had these again tonight and followed the recipe exactly! These still get 5 stars from me, (*****) but don't know if it's fair to do that again. But! I wanted everyone out there to know that these are simply the best! And the aroma while they are cooking is enough to make you want to eat them all to yourself! No sharing!!! lol We will always make our burgers this way from here on out! (BTW, it was our anniversary tonight and we all agreed that this was more enjoyable than eating out in some overly priced restaurant!!) I can never thank you enough for posting this recipe!!

Not your ordinary burger, these are fantastic. Even the fussy eater of the family was impressed. We ate them on fresh bread rolls with salad and sweet chilli sauce. You have got to try them!!!!
