Pickled Vegetables
  • In a small saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar, salt, and water. Bring to a simmer until sugar and salt dissolve.

  • Form into 8 patties, about 2 inches wide, pressing slightly to flatten.
  • Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook patties for 3–4 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Spicy Mayo
  • In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lime juice. Adjust spice level to taste.
To Plate

  • Spread spicy mayo on both cut sides of each bun.
