The 11th in an on-going series of burgers experimenting with pre-made non-beef patties – the first over a year (holy fuck how time flies).

Previous burgers:

1. 1. 13.066 Chicken Burger (chili-ketchup)
   2. 13.070 Cheese Tonkatsu Burger (tonkatsu-mayo)
   3. 13.075 Fishkatsu Burger (with tartare sauce)
   4. 13.082 Double Neobiani Cheese Burger (gochujang-sour cream)
   5. 13.090 Fish Burger (tartare-mayo-mustard sauce)
   6. 13.101 Ddoekgalbi Cheeseburger (gochujang-mayo sauce)
   7. 13.128 Shrimp Stick Burgers (ranch dressing)
   8. 13.145 Cheese Ham-Burger (ketchup + mayo + mustard + sriracha)
   9. 14.103 (Vegetarian) Hamburg Steak Cheeseburger
   10. 15.122 Fiskpinnar Burgers

With frozen dongtae (pollack) jeon by Jinju.

A good idea in principle – much easier than fish katsu, which requires deep-frying – but this particular brand of jeon was terrible, the fish unpleasantly mushy.
