Burgers have been accustomed to in our house. No, not beef, but either the Impossible Burger or the Beyond Burger. These burgers were first introduced to a Palo Alto favorite, Gott’s Roadside. At Gott’s they have this amazing burger called the kimchi burger, with the impossible burger patty, gochujang mayo, kimchi and a fried egg. It is a beautiful combination of spice and richness from the egg and sauce with some acidity that shines through from the kimchi. To replicate this at home, we decided to go on a different path. Instead of using the Impossible Burger, we used the Beyond Burger patty. For the toppings, we made a quick people instead of the kimchi for more acidity, a spicy mayo for a little more heat than Gochujang and grilled onions for a slight sweetness and an delectable char/smoky flavor.
