GLAZE: In a small saucepan bring the Mirin, soy sauce, maple syrup, brown sugar, ginger & lemon juice to a boil. Mix the cornstarch & water together to dissolve the cornstarch.

BURGERS: Mix all the burger ingredients together with your hands & form into two patties. Grill over medium-high heat for 3 minutes per side. Brush with glaze & flip. Grill 2 more minutes. Brush with glaze & flip again cooking 2 more minutes.
When the burgers have about 5 minutes left put the onions on the grill & brush them with the glaze. Grill until they are soft.
Brush both the burgers & onions with glaze once more before serving.
Serve the burgers on rolls topped with the mayonnaise & lettuce. The onions can be eaten on the side or on the burgers.
