Method

    In a small bowl, combine the vinegar, sugar and 1/2 tsp salt or to taste. Stir until the sugar and salt dissolve.

  5. Step 5

    While the burgers are grilling, lightly toast the burger buns if desired.

  6. Step 6

    Spread a generous amount of the garlicky lemon mayo on the bottom half of each burger bun. Place a grilled burger on top of the mayo. Spread sweet chilli sauce (if using) on each burger.

  7. Step 7

    Top the burgers with pickled carrots, cucumber slices, and fresh coriander leaves. Place the top half of the burger bun on each assembled burger and serve immediately.
