To make the kimchi ketchup: In a pan, sauté the garlic and onion for 3-4 minutes, then add in your tomatoes and kimchi. Slowly reduce until the sauce is thickened, 10-15 minutes. Add in a pinch of salt, sugar and vinegar. If you like your ketchup to be chunky you can leave as it is, or if you want it to be smooth, blitz it to be a smooth ketchup.

For the burger mix, in a food processor, add in your spring onions, garlic and ginger, soy sauce, ssamjang, sesame oil, sugar and black pepper. Blend to a smooth paste and mix into the beef mince.

Divide the burgers out into 4 patties. Flatten to approximate 1cm. Heat a frying pan and pan fry each side for 3-4 minutes or until cooked.

To assemble the burger, Lightly toast the baps, then add one layer of lettuce, tomatoes, onions, burger, cheese and top with the kimchi ketchup and extra kimchi if desired.
