Of course, being Vietnamese, they marinated the beef in the only way they knew how-splash fish sauce to it. My parents figured out that it was much more economical to make burgers at home and did exactly that by created their own recipe for the patties. Back then, hamburgers were the “American’s food”, “that sandwich with that big piece of meat in it, with the red and yellow sauces and the sour cucumber slices.” My siblings and I wanted to eat “Ham-buh-guh” all day long and we wanted it NOW. Growing up in a Vietnamese family of 6 kids who were always hungry and thirsty for more American foods, my parent had to figure out a way to feed their hungry pack of kids. That Vietnamese family is obviously mine.
Our ultimate umami loaded burgers are the highlights of our outdoor gatherings This recipe here is a family recipe that started from my Vietnamese-American family back in the early 80’s, in a 2-bedroom apartment, in the middle of Southern California… Many families have been making this for decades before any trendy burger joint capitalized on the idea. No burger chain should ever make claim or ownership to this savory burger.
Make it a double, please. But this umami rich burger recipe isn’t a new invention, nor is it a trendy recipe to keep up with the popularity of umami rich foods. It’s the ultimate burger that is so satisfying and savory, no one can eat just one. Our hungry friends were always stumped to figure out the secret ingredient and could never, ever pinpoint that “magic” flavor that made our patties so unique. It wasn’t until recently, with all the discussion on Umami (the rich, savory taste in foods) that our umami hamburger recipe was re-named as the hamburger loaded with umami.
