Ingredients

Cucumber salad:

1 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced rounds

1/2 red onion, thinly sliced

1/4 cup rice vinegar

1/8 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Burger:

1 1/4 pounds ground turkey

1/3 cup steamed jasmine rice

1/4 cup panko

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

1 large egg

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 Thai chili or serrano chile, seeded and minced

1 teaspoon sugar

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon peanut oil

4 sesame hamburger buns

Wasabi mayonnaise:

1/2 cup homemade mayonnaise or store-bought

1 teaspoon wasabi powder

1/2 teaspoon minced ginger

1 teaspoon finely chopped lemon peel

Directions

Cucumber salad: Toss cucumbers, onions, rice vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium sized bowl. Let it marinate at room temperature for 1 hour.
Burger: Mix ground turkey, rice, panko, green onions, egg, sesame oil, soy sauce, Thai chile, and sugar very well. Make into 4 patties. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute burgers until cooked through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes per side (depending on how thick you make them).
Wasabi mayonnaise: While burgers are cooking, toast buns, and mix mayonnaise, with wasabi powder, ginger, and lemon peel in a small bowl.
Drain cucumber salad well.
Smear 1 tablespoon wasabi mayonnaise on toasted bun halves, spread with a layer of drained cucumber salad, then top with burger and cover with bun top.
