Great and unusual burger, but we love most of the ingredients. I made these exactly as written, and will make it again but leave out the American cheese. The sauce and the kimchi were absolutely delicious. And then you add bacon. Oh, goodness. Indeed!

Oh my goodness, I loved this burger soooooo much!!! The sambal oolek/mayo/ketchup combo was amazing and tasted so good with the melted cheese and bacon. I've never stacked my burgers before so that was fun. The kimchi added great flavor and crunch and I really enjoyed it. I happened to have some kimchi in my fridge and was happy to try it in a different way. I would totally make this burger again - with or without the kimchi. It was delicious and made for a great summer dinner. I'm putting this into my Best of 2021 file. Thank you!

If you want a real treat try this burger. The Sambal Oelek & Kimchi give it a peppy tasty flavour. I. chopped my bacon & cut back on the amount. Only made 2 burgers. This recipe will be made again.
