Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise and gochujang until well combined. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix together ground beef, soy sauce, sesame oil, and garlic powder. Mix with your hands until just combined, being careful not to overwork.
Divide the ground beef mixture into 4 equal sized patties. Season patties with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook patties using the cooking method of your choice (grill, cast iron pan, etc.) until desired doneness (approximately 4 minutes per side for medium). Add American cheese slices during the last minute of cooking.
To build the burgers: Spread gochujang mayo on both sides of the buns. Add 4 pickle slices on the bottom bun. Place burgers on top of the pickles and top the burgers with chopped kimchi and scallions. Finish with a bun on top and serve.
