  4. Cook patties on one side for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes until fully cooked.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, and sriracha. Adjust consistency with warm water as needed.
  6. Toast burger buns, spread peanut sauce on the bottom, add the cooked patty, drizzle with more sauce, and top with shredded carrot, cucumber, cilantro, and red onion.
  7. Serve immediately with extra peanut sauce on the side.
