2. Cook the Burger Patties: ◦ Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through. If using cheese, place a slice on each patty in the last minute of cooking to melt.
3. Make the Kimchi Slaw: ◦ In a bowl, combine the chopped kimchi, shredded cabbage, julienned carrot, mayonnaise, sesame seeds, and rice vinegar. Mix until well coated.
4. Assemble the Burgers: ◦ Toast the burger buns if desired. ◦ Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun, then add the beef patty. Top with the kimchi slaw, and add sliced cucumber. ◦ Place the top half of the bun on the burger, and serve.
