  • Combine beef, sliced green onions and 2 teaspoons miso paste in a large bowl. Divide mixture into 4 and form each into a burger patty about 1/2 inch (1 1/2cm) thick. Rub each patty generously with oil.
  • Heat a BBQ or frying pan on a high heat. When the pan is very hot sear burgers for 4-5 minutes on each side or well browned and cooked to your liking.
  • Meanwhile, combine extra 2 teaspoons miso with the mayonnaise. Divide miso mayo between two plates smearing in an off-center circle.
  • When the burgers are cooked place two burgers on each plate on top of your pool of mayo.
  • Return the pan to the heat and cook spinach or greens, stirring often until just wilted. Divide cooked greens between two plates. Top with seeds and enjoy!
