1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 cup bottled spicy kimchi, chopped
1 1/4pounds ground beef chuck
1 tablespoon fish sauce
6 hamburger buns

In a thin stream slowly whisk in 1/3 cup sesame oil and 1/3 cup peanut oil (mayonnaise will thicken). Stir in 2 green onions and 1 tsp. sesame seeds. Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 days; stir before using. Makes 1 scant cup.
