Asian Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 lb ground beef
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup water chestnut, chopped
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 hamburger buns or 4 kaiser rolls

Preparation

Soak mushrooms in warm water to cover until softened, about 20 minutes. Drain, discard stems and finely chop caps.
Crumble meat into a large bowl. Add mushrooms, onion, water chestnuts, green onions, garlic, soy sauce, oyster-flavored sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well. Sprinkle cornstarch over meat mixture & mix well. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions into a patty about 1\" thick.
Place patties on a oiled grill 3-4\" above a solid bed of low-glowing coals or on a medium-high gas grill. Cook, turning once, until done to your liking, 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Serve in buns with your favorite condiments.
