Sidekick Supper: Sweet Thai Chili Burgers
Team up and cook dinner—together!
- Eggs
- Soy
- Wheat
This is the same great HelloFresh recipe, now with instructions to divide tasks between two cooks if you'd like (it also still works for a solo chef!). Creating the perfect patty is like writing a hit song: Pack it with the right ingredients and it sings. Tonight’s patties open with ground beef, then build to a stunning chorus thanks to ginger, garlic, and soy sauce. And if you’re looking for that key change, we’ve got the sauce for you—a creamy ginger scallion aioli, sweet Thai chili sauce, and crispy fried onions. This meal wouldn't be complete without a side of sweet potato wedges to dip into any extra aioli. Now that’s a Top 40 burger!

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. • Wash and dry produce. • Cut sweet potatoes into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges. Toss on a baking sheet with a large drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until tender and slightly crispy, 25-30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, trim and mince scallions, separating whites from greens. Peel ginger and grate using a zester or the small holes of a box grater until you have 3⁄4 tsp (1 1⁄2 tsp for 4 servings). Peel and mince or grate garlic. • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, scallion greens, 3⁄4 tsp soy sauce, 1⁄4 tsp grated ginger, 1⁄4 tsp sugar, and a pinch of garlic (use 1 1⁄2 tsp soy sauce, 1⁄2 tsp ginger, and 1⁄2 tsp sugar for 4). • If you're done with this step, feel free to jump ahead to Step 4!
• In a large bowl, gently combine beef, scallion whites, half the remaining soy sauce (all for 4 servings), remaining grated ginger, and remaining garlic. • Form into two patties (four patties for 4), each slightly wider than a burger bun.
• When sweet potatoes have 10 minutes left, heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add patties and cook to desired doneness, 3-5 minutes per side. • While patties cook, halve and toast buns.
• Spread cut sides of buns with aioli (save some for dipping), then fill with patties, chili sauce, and crispy fried onions. • Divide burgers and sweet potato wedges between plates. Serve with remaining aioli on the side for dipping.
Ground Meat is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 160°.

Review summary
Updated on Dec 2025- Flavor: Burgers packed a flavorful punch with ginger, garlic, and Thai chili sauce. The aioli and crispy onions were standout additions 🍔.
- Ease of prep: Some found it time-consuming, but many felt the delicious result was worth the effort. Air frying sweet potatoes yielded crispier results.
- Suggestions: Go easy on the soy sauce in the aioli to maintain thickness. Consider adding cheese to help keep crispy onions in place.
- Leftovers: Several made extra patties or shared with friends, indicating good portion sizes for most.
- Texture: A few noted the beef had an unusual consistency; forming patties carefully may help improve texture.
