Asian Slaw Burgers

So, awhile back, when I made the Asian Slaw, I promised to tell you how I served it.  Well, it's now two weeks later, and I realize that I never told you!  I actually used it to top an Asian burger.  I love hamburgers, but can get a little bored with the typical toppings.  This time around, I thought I'd shake things up and put my slaw on my burger!  And can I tell you that it was delicious?!  I added some Asian flavors to the burgers themselves and added a little wasabi mayo and had myself a little Asian-American feast.  :-)  This makes me want to experiment with other flavored burgers in the future...

Asian Slaw Burgers

Burgers:
1 pound hamburger meat
1 Tbl ginger, minced
1 Tbl garlic, minced

To make the burgers:
Mix the hamburger meat, ginger, garlic and soy sauce gently in a bowl.  Separate into four parts and make four patties.  Salt and pepper both sides.  Grill over a gas or charcoal grill until done (or cook on the stovetop in a large pan).

To make the Wasabi Mayo:
Combine all ingredients and set aside.  If you are preparing this in advance, store in the refrigerator.
