How to make a teriyaki burger?
Every teriyaki burger needs a teriyaki sauce. You can buy it if you prefer but if you want to make yours homemade it’s really easy.
You just pop all the ingredients into a saucepan and simmer for a few minutes. We’ve left out any sugar and sweeten ours with the natural sugars in honey instead.
You can then make up and grill the beef burgers, spooning some teriyaki sauce over them towards the end. If you like you can top with a slice of cheese too.
Serve in a browned burger bun, with a special teriyaki mayonnaise (teriyaki sauce mixed in with some mayonnaise) and your favourite toppings to make it a completely irresistible meal.

Kids teriyaki burger – our step by step guide:
Make your homemade teriyaki sauce
Place 1 cup water in a saucepan with soy sauce, honey and minced garlic and ginger. Bring it to the boil and simmer for a few minutes.
If it’s runny you may want to thicken your sauce. So in a separate measuring cup mix ¼ cup water with 1 tablespoon cornflour and stir well.
Add it to the teriyaki sauce and keep stirring until well combined. If there are any lumps, press them out with a spoon. Your sauce should be nice and thick.
Make your burger mix
In a mixing bowl add the minced beef, minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, diced red onion and seasoning. Mix until well combined.
Form the burger patties
Mould the mixture into 4 patties, about 8 cm diameter.
Cook the burgers
Cook the beef patties for a few minutes on each side on a medium heat until cooked through.
When they’re nearly ready, spoon a little teriyaki sauce over them, and finally add a cheese slice on top until it melts.
Mix your teriyaki mayo
Take ½ cup teriyaki sauce and mix it with ⅓ cup mayonnaise to make your teriyaki mayonnaise. Set aside.
Build your burger
Grill or toast your brioche burger buns until slightly browned. Set them out on a tray with the two halves open.
Add your cooked burger onto the bun base and spoon some teriyaki mayo or teriyaki sauce (whichever you prefer) over it.
Add your desired toppings. These could be lettuce leaves, tomato slices, pickles or even our parsnip chips.
Enjoy!
