  For the sliders: In a small bowl mix together all of the slider seasonings.

  In a medium sized bowl break up the meat, add the seasoning mixture and combine. Don't over mix. Separate into 6 patties, about 2-1/2" in diameter. I use a 2-1/2" cookie mold the keep the size uniform and press down to make them a little larger. If you're not going to cook them right away, set in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Remove from the refrigerator about 15 minutes before you're ready to prepare them.

  Using a cast iron pan or non-stick frying pan heated to medium high, put on the patties and cook on each side for 3 to 3-1/2 minutes to your desired doneness. At 3-1/2 minutes they should be medium rare. But watch carefully. Remove from the heat and assemble the sliders.

  Wash the cabbage and shake out the water. Cut off the bottom end of the cabbage and cut the bottom 5" leaving the top, leafy ends for another use. Slice the cabbage lengthwise into medium strips and then crosswise. Place in a large bowl with the shredded carrots.

  Assembling the sliders: Slice each bun in half and spread about 1 teaspoon of the aoili on the bottom half of each bun. More if you want it spicier. Place a patty on each of the bun bottoms, top with some of the kim-chi, cover with the bun tops and serve.
