The Vortex Blue Shroom Burger Recipes

Steps:

• For the miso sauce and marinade: Combine the mirin and sake in a pot and bring to a boil to burn off the alcohol. Add the sugar to the mixture and dissolve. Add the miso and cook until a light caramel color is achieved. Remove from the heat and cool completely. Once completely cooled, separate out the amount desired for drizzling on the burgers.
• For the cod: Rinse and pat dry the cod fillets before marinating. Take the remaining amount of miso marinade and rub it over the fish. Cover and marinade in the fridge for 2 days.
• For the amazu dressing: Combine the sugar, rice vinegar, salt and kombu in a pot and bring to a simmer to mix thoroughly. Remove from the heat, cover and refrigerate for 24 hours. After 24 hours, remove the kombu.
• For the amazu salad: Toss together the arugula, radishes and pickled red ginger in a large bowl. Toss with the amazu dressing.
• Remove the cod from the fridge and remove any excess miso marinade off the fish. Broil on medium-high heat until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• For the burgers: Toast the brioche buns. Add 1 piece of broiled cod fillet and drizzle the reserved miso sauce over the fillet. Top with 1 cup of the amazu salad.

Steps:

• HEAT grill to medium-high heat.
• SHAPE meat into 4 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.
• GRILL 4 to 6 min. on each side or until done (160 degrees F). Top with cheese; grill 1 min. or until melted. Meanwhile, place onions and buns, cut-sides down, on grill; cook 1 to 2 min. or until onions are lightly browned and buns are lightly toasted, turning onions after 1 min.
• SPREAD mayonnaise onto cut sides of buns; fill with cheeseburgers and onions.
• Serving Suggestion: Serve with a mixed green salad and your favorite fresh fruit to round out the meal.
• How to Cook on the Stove: Cook patties in large skillet on medium heat 7 to 9 min. on each side or until done (160degreesF), adding onions to the skillet for the last 5 min. and turning once. Top burgers with cheese; cover. Cook 1 min. or until melted. Continue as directed, toasting buns under the broiler if desired.
• Substitute: Substitute kaiser rolls for the hamburger buns.

Steps:

• Form the ground sirloin into 4 (8-ounce) patties. Over an open-flame, grill each burger to desired temperature. While the patties are grilling, cook bacon in a skillet until desired crispness, and set aside. In the same skillet that you cooked the bacon in, fry the eggs until set. Transfer to a plate and top each with a slice of cheese.
• Butter both sides of each bun and grill until toasted. On each of the 4 bottom buns, place the burger, followed by the cheese-topped egg and bacon, in that order. On each of the top 4 buns, place the lettuce, tomato and red onion, in that order. Top with any additional condiments desired, sandwich the 2 sides, and serve.
