Korean Kimchi Burgers - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups finely shredded napa cabbage
    1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion, divided
    3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
    4 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
    4 teaspoons minced fresh ginger, divided
    1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, divided
    1 1/2 teaspoons asian chili-garlic sauce, divided (Sriracha)
    1/4 cup mayonnaise
    1 1/2 lbs ground chuck (80-20)
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    4 hamburger buns, split (I like sesame seeded)
Preparation
    Heat grill to high (450\u00b0 to 550\u00b0).
    Mix cabbage, 1/4 cup green onions, the vinegar, 1 teaspoons each garlic and ginger, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, and 1/2 teaspoons chili sauce in a large bowl. Set relish aside, stirring occasionally. In another bowl, mix mayonnaise with remaining 1 teaspoons chili sauce.
    Combine beef, soy sauce, and remaining 1/4 cup green onions, 1 tablespoons each garlic and ginger, and 1 teaspoons sesame oil. Shape into 4 patties, each about 1/2 inches thick. Don't over mix or the burgers will be tough.
    Oil cooking grate, using tongs and a wad of oiled paper towels. Grill burgers, covered, turning once, 7 to 8 minutes total for medium. In the final minutes, toast buns.
    Spread bun bottoms with chili mayonnaise. Set burgers on buns. With a slotted spoon, put some cabbage relish on each. Serve with remaining relish.
