We had a Final Four viewing party the other night. Nothing says March Madness like Asian Sliders and ice cold Tsing Tao Beer! These tender and juicy burgers are layered with delicious Asian flavors from the ginger, garlic, hoisin and oyster sauce. I love to serve them with a cool and cruncy Asian slaw and a dollop of spicy Srircha mayo. If you can’t find slider buns, then you can use King’s Hawaiian rolls (which I’ve used here). The rolls are highly addicting so I always buy an extra bag. I used ground beef for this recipe but feel free to use ground turkey or ground pork. I like the Lee Kum Kee brand of hoisin sauce which you can find in the gourmet section of Cost Plus World Market.
