Japanese Burger

By Juvy S. Iliwiliw

You can turn this burger from Japanese to Thai by switching the toppings and condiments. You may use Thai sweet chili sauce, Thai basil leaves, cilantro sprigs, roasted peanuts and serve with lime quarters. It is so easy to make this with only 20 minutes preparation time, you can surely do something else after making 2 for this recipe. You may choose to increase the ingredients if you are to serve a large group of hungry burger eaters.
