Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare your grill for direct cooking. If using charcoal light it now.
- 2
Place all ingredients for the burger patties in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until just combined. Careful not to over work or you can end up with dense, tough burgers.
- 3
Form mixture into 6 equal sized patties, again careful to not over work. Place on a plate. Set aside. Tip: when shaping patties form a depression in the center so edges are slightly thicker. This prevents the "bulge effect" when cooking.
- 4
Combine all ingredients for the basting sauce in a small bowl. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for the pineapple rings in a separate small bowl. Set both aside.
- 5
Drain can of pineapple. Lay pineapple rings out in a single layer on paper towels. Blot tops with additional paper towels. Transfer to a large plate/platter in a single layer. Just before grilling, sprinkle half of brown sugar mixture on pineapple rings, flip and sprinkle second side with remaining mixture.
- 6
For medium cooked burgers: Grill 5 minutes on first side. Flip, brush cooked side with basting sauce. Grill another 5 minutes. Flip basted side down, brush second side with sauce. Cook 2-3 minutes. Flip one last time place one slice of cheese on each patty. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Transfer burgers to a large platter in a single layer. Cover with foil to keep warm, set aside.
- 7
Place prepared pineapple rings on grill. Cook 2-5 minutes per side, or until sugar starts to caramelize. Place at least one ring on each burger patty.
- 8
To Assemble: toast buns if desired. Spread garlic pepper aioli on top and bottom bun. Place lettuce then tomato on bottom bun. Place burger patty topped with pineapple. Add crispy onions and/or additional sauce if desired. Place top bun. Enjoy!

Hawaiian N' Bison Burger Hawaiian N' Bison Burger
If you've never eaten Bison the best way to describe the flavor is honestly the best tasting ground beef in the world. If you sneak it in your dinner you're family will just say "oh shit that's the best burger I've ever had!" Don't worry about the price and weather or not the gamble is worth it. It is!

Hanpen Burgers Hanpen Burgers
See also- "Light and Chewy Hanpen Fritters." I didn't want to admit, but the hanpen was just about at (or even past..) its best-by date. This time, I aimed for a fluffy and light texture rather than a dense chewy texture. You can use any sauce you like or even do without it. The burgers are so easy, I added sauce as a bonus.Use white or black toasted sesame seeds. You can increase the amount. You just need a little bit of salt and pepper. If you forget to add it, it's not a big deal. If you prefer lighter flavors, not adding salt and pepper might be better.If the onion you're using is watery and 2 teaspoon of katakuriko potato starch flour is not enough, add another teaspoon or add a small packet of bonito flakes. It will be easier to form the burgers. For 1 to 2 servings. Recipe by Sabumochi
