Ingredients

Pickled radish

  • 3 medium radish
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Scallion lime aioli

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 4 scallions chopped
  • juice of ½ lime
  • salt and pepper

Beef patties

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • ¼ cup grated onion
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon minced ginger
  • 1 ½ tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Sauteed kimchi

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 cup kimchi chopped

Remaining ingredients

  • 1 small Asian pear peeled, thinly sliced
  • 8 slider buns or dinner rolls

Instructions

  • Make the quick-pickled radish. Thinly slice radishes about 1/16-inch thick. Combine sugar with a pinch of salt, rice vinegar, and hot water, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Add the sliced radish and let sit for 30 minutes.
  • Prepare the scallion lime aioli. Blend together mayonnaise with scallions, and the lime juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • Make the beef patties. Combine ground beef with grated onion, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, brown sugar, and black pepper in a large bowl. Shape the beef into 8 patties, about ¼ cup each.
  • Heat a grill or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and add chopped kimchi. Cook until the kimchi has caramelized, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the kimchi and keep warm.
  • Wipe the pan clean and cook the beef patties until the desired degree of doneness.
  • Assemble the sliders. Toast the slider buns and stack the bottom bun with scallion lime aioli, beef patty, sauteed kimchi, fresh Asian pear, pickled radish, and extra aioli. Serve immediately.

Notes

The scallion lime aioli, sauteed kimchi, and pickled radish can be prepared the day before.
