Method

In a large bowl, mix ground beef with soy sauce, oyster sauce, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper.
Form 4 equal-sized beef patties and cook on a grill or skillet over medium-high heat until desired doneness, about 4-5 minutes per side.
While the patties cook, mix chili garlic sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar to create a spicy sauce.
Place cheese slices on top of each cooked patty and let sit for 1 minute to melt.
Assemble burgers with tomato, lettuce, and buns.
Serve with spicy sauce on the side.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
