This re-creation is an homage to a burger I’m always grabbing from my local Korean Tiger Burger. They call theirs the Kim-cheese, I call it biblical. A succulent beef patty, topped with funky kimchi, melted cheddar cheese, chilli mayo all in a soft brioche bun. It’s a revelation.
This unami-packed burger is well worth the effort. Tender beef patties are topped with spicy kimchi and a little cheese. This unforgettable burger will wake up your taste buds and have you going back for more. Delicious!
