Upgrade your smash burger by cooking it inside a wok for better results.
In short: J. Kenji López-Alt demonstrates a technique for crafting a quadruple onion smash burger. By utilizing a wok to contain splatter, he integrates thinly sliced onions directly into the patty, topping them with a unique fried shallot aioli for a refined late-night meal.
The process involves smashing thin slices of onion directly into the burger patty, allowing them to cook alongside the meat. Keeping the onions raw under the cheese provides a distinct texture and flavor profile. The accompanying aioli is built upon a base of garlic mayonnaise, enhanced by blending in store-bought fried shallots and a dash of fish sauce.
This preparation method draws inspiration from the author's previous work on fried shallot Caesar dressing. Using a wok serves a practical purpose, effectively managing the grease splatter typically associated with high-heat smash burger cooking.
