The Seoul Bulgogi Kimchi Burger captures the essence of Korean street food in one delicious handheld meal. This fusion creation features a beef patty infused with the classic bulgogi marinade flavors of garlic, soy sauce, and gochujang, topped with melted mozzarella and tangy fermented kimchi for an explosion of savory, spicy, and umami-rich tastes.

What makes this burger irresistible is the harmony of flavors inspired by Korean BBQ. The gochujang adds a sweet-spicy kick to the patty, while the brown sugar caramelizes beautifully during cooking. The mild mozzarella provides a creamy counterpoint to the bold flavors, and the kimchi brings that essential tangy crunch and probiotic punch. The scallion-sesame mayo ties everything together with its nutty, aromatic finish.

Perfect for fans of Korean cuisine or anyone looking to explore bold international flavors, this burger delivers restaurant-quality taste at home. Serve it with sweet potato fries or Korean-style pickled vegetables for an authentic Seoul street food experience.
