Now it’s time to build a kimchi burger! Smear a nice dollop of mayo on both sides of the bun. Layer the bottom bun with your burger, a few pieces of kimchi, a few slices of jalapeños, and top with a solid heap of your ramen slaw.

NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:
- If you’re planning on making the crunchy ramen slaw ahead of time to cut down on prep, hold off on dressing it. You can store the dressing and remaining ingredients separately in the fridge until you’re ready to eat!
- Kimchi and Gochujang can both be found in the international section of your grocery store near other Asian items. If you can’t find the Gochujang at your store, any other hot sauce will sub well in this recipe.
- If your slider buns come without sesame seeds, but you’d like to add them, simply brush them with a bit of melted butter and sprinkle the seeds on top – I love the additional texture!
