A few smart steps take this from an average burger into a crave-worthy one. First, you’ll toss the cabbage with just a bit of mayonnaise — enough to coat the leaves and add a bit of richness, while keeping the slaw fresh and crisp.
Ingredients
1 cup shredded white or green cabbage
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large hamburger buns, split
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 (1/3-pound) hamburger patties
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 medium jalapeño, thinly sliced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Meanwhile, place the cabbage and mayonnaise in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Toast the buns in the oven until warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
Season the patties generously with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over high heat until shimmering. Add the patties and cook until desired doneness, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Add the teriyaki sauce and cook for 30 seconds.
Transfer the patties to the bottom buns, divide the cabbage mixture over the patties, top with the jalapeño slices, and close with the top buns.
