Ingredients:

1 1/2 c. soft bread crumbs

1/4 c. chopped onion

1/4 c. water

2 Tbsp. sugar

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 clove garlic, minced

Dash ground ginger

1 1/2 lb. lean ground beef

6 hamburger buns, split and toasted

Sliced cucumbers (optional)

Lettuce leaves (optional)

 

Directions:

Stir together the soft bread crumbs, onion, water, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and ground ginger in a large mixing bowl.  Add the ground beef then mix well.  Shape the meat mixture into 6 patties (3/4 inch thick each).

 

For a charcoal grill, place patties on the grill rack directly over medium coals.  Grill, uncovered, for 15-18 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the side of a patty reads 160 degrees, turning once.

 

For a gas grill, preheat grill.  Reduce heat to medium.  Place patties on the grill rack; cover and grill as directed above for a charcoal grill.

 

Serve burgers in buns topped, if desired, with slice cucumbers and lettuce.
