• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic

For Assembling:

• 4 hamburger buns
• Pineapple rings (fresh or canned)
• Lettuce leaves
• Sliced red onion
• Sliced cucumber

Instructions:

    Prepare the Teriyaki Burger Patties:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, teriyaki sauce, salt, and black pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients until well combined.
3. Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into burger patties.

    Prepare the Teriyaki Sauce:

1. In a small saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water, brown sugar, honey, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic.
2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
3. If you want a thicker sauce, you can mix a teaspoon of cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and add it to the sauce. Continue to cook and stir until the sauce thickens.
4. Remove the saucepan from heat and set the teriyaki sauce aside.

    Cook the Teriyaki Burger Patties:

1. Preheat your grill or a skillet over medium-high heat.

1. While the patties are cooking, you can also grill the pineapple rings for about 2 minutes per side until they have grill marks.
2. Lightly toast the hamburger buns on the grill or in a toaster.
3. Spread mayonnaise or aioli (if desired) on the inside of each bun.
4. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each bun.
5. Add a cooked teriyaki burger patty on the lettuce.
