Hoisin Garlic Sauce: In small nonstick saucepan, heat oil over medium-low heat; fry garlic until soft and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in hoisin sauce, sugar and 1 tbsp/15 mL water; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Scrape into bowl; let cool.

Soak dried shiitake mushrooms in 1-1/2 cups/375 mL warm water until soft, about 30 minutes. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Remove stems (save for stock pot); dice caps. In small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat vegetable oil; fry mushrooms until golden, about 4 minutes. Add wine, ginger, salt and sugar; sauté for 30 seconds. Add mushroom liquid; cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tbsp/30 mL. Scrape into bowl; let cool. Whisk in egg, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper; mix in beef and green onions. Shape into 4 patties.

Pan-fry or grill over medium heat, turning once, until no longer pink inside and digital thermometer inserted sideways into centre reads 160F/71C, about 15 minutes. Serve with Hoisin Garlic Sauce.
