    How to Prepare Asian Barbecue Sliders [Vegan]

    1. In a small sauce pan, over medium heat, whisk all the ingredients together (except the scallions and ground meat).
    2. Cook the sauce until bubbly, and then turn down the heat to medium low. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
    3. Measure out 3 to 4 tablespoons (depends on how strong of a flavor you want*), and remove to a large bowl.
    4. Stir in the scallions; set aside to cool. The sauce will thicken a bit as it cools.
    5. Reserve the rest of the sauce for another use, or mix with some vegan mayo and slather on the burger buns.
    6. Once the sauce is completely cool, add the meat. Mix together with your hands (easier) or a spoon.
    7. Put in a lidded container and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is preferable.
    8. Remove from fridge, and divide the beef into 4 or 6 equal patties the size of your bun..
    9. Firmly shape each into a ball, and then press and shape patties into the same diameter as your bun.
    10. Heat a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat (depends if you like charring on the outside). Add enough oil to coat the bottom of the skillet.
    11. Add the burgers and cook 2 to 3 1/2 minutes per side. They can sometimes stick, so carefully slide/push your spatula under each to lift them.
    12. Place on bun and add any condiments and toppings you like.
