Hamburger
The fried hamburger is a variation of the classic hamburger, originating in the 1970s and 1980s in the Netherlands and Belgium. Instead of being grilled, the burger was deep-fried, giving it a crispy texture. The snack quickly became popular due to its easy preparation, extra crunch, and versatility with sauces. It has since become a staple in snack bars. A real burger shouldn't be missed, but should it be grilled or cooked in the steam oven and then deep-fry? You'll find both options in the recipe. Both methods give the burger a unique flavor and texture, so the choice is yours!

Instructions
-
Mix the spices for the hamburger spice mix.
-
Mix the ground meat, hamburger spices, egg, and cornstarch; I do that in the mixer, so the ground meat becomes a little finer. Form 4 equal patties of about a thumb's thickness.
-
Cook them in the steam oven at 68 °C. If you don't have a steam oven, you can also cook it in a pan with broth at around 70 °C. Use a kitchen thermometer for this.
-
Pat the burgers dry well. Set the fryer to 180 °C and fry them crispy in 2 minutes, or heat the oven to 180 °C. Bake the burgers in a blazing hot grill pan on both sides until nice grill marks appear. Cook them for about 10 more minutes in the oven. Or bake them in a non-stick pan in about 4 minutes on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. If you want a cheeseburger, place a slice of cheese on the burger when it is turned over, so that it can melt nicely.
-
Sprinkle the inside of the buns with the sunflower oil. Toast them golden brown in a grill pan.
-
Top the bottom halves of the buns with lettuce, top with a hamburger, a spoonful of ketchup, tomato, pickle, onion rings, and the top of the buns. Secure this contraption with a satay skewer, if desired.

Tip: how do you know if your meat is cooked through? If you cook a burger in the oven, you can check if it is cooked by inserting a skewer into it: if clear liquid comes out, the burger is cooked!
