The Banh Mi Burger
The Banh Mi Burger layers juicy, soy- and fish sauce–seasoned beef with bright, tangy carrot and daikon, cool cucumber, and a kick of jalapeño. A hoisin–Sriracha mayo adds sweet heat against toasted rolls, giving each bite a vibrant balance of savory, spicy, and fresh. Ideal for a backyard grill night when you want bold, street-food flair in burger form.

Gather all your ingredients.
- 2
Combine beef, fish sauce, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and 5-spice powder in a bowl, and mix until evenly blended. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
- 3
Stir mayonnaise, hoisin, and Sriracha together in a small bowl for the sauce. Keep chilled until needed. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
- 4
Slice open the rolls, remove about 1/2 of the inside crumb, and set them on the prepared baking sheet.
- 5
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
- 6
Meanwhile, with damp hands, shape the beef mixture into two burger patties sized to match your rolls or buns. Keep them in the refrigerator until needed.
- 7
Combine carrots and daikon radish in a bowl. Add rice vinegar and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
- 8
Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat.
- 9
Grill the burgers over the hot coals until they reach your desired doneness and spring back to the touch, turning as needed, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
- 10
Spread the mayo mixture on the toasted buns. Arrange cucumbers and jalapeno slices on the bottoms of the rolls, then add the cooked burgers. Top with the carrot-radish mixture and cilantro.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
