Lamb is especially good with flavourful additions, as in this Chinese-inspired recipe. Fresh ground lamb is often available; frozen ground lamb from New Zealand is also convenient. Serve the burgers on buns with lettuce, tomato and hot mustard, or make them a meal with rice or potatoes and a salad or side vegetable.

Ingredients
Method
In bowl, lightly beat egg; mix in onions, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, five-spice powder and hot pepper flakes. Add lamb and mix well. Shape into four 1-inch (2.5 cm) thick patties. (Make-ahead: Layer between waxed paper; wrap and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.)Place patties on greased grill, under broiler or in lightly greased skillet; cook over medium-high heat, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes.
