- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup kimchi, chopped

- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon gochujang (Korean chili paste)
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions
- Burger Patties: In a large bowl, mix ground beef with soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until just combined. Form into 4 burger patties.
- Spicy Mayo: In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, gochujang, and rice vinegar to make the spicy mayo.
- Cooking: Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook burger patties for 3–4 minutes per side or until desired doneness. Add cheese slices during the last minute of cooking to melt.
