ASIAN STYLE PORK BURGERS

Super-flavorful and easy-to-make, these pork burgers are flavored with fresh ginger, garlic, and sesame oil, with a touch of spicy in the mix! So delicious! Top with some creamy, spicy slaw and bread-and-butter pickles, and you're in for a treat! Inspired by and adapted from an Epicurious recipe, to which I added fresh ginger and Hoisin, both of which amp up the flavor.

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 c (120ml) Mayo (I like Kewpie or Hellman's Brand)
1 T (15ml) Rice Vinegar (Seasoned preferred)
1 T (15ml) Sriracha Sauce
2 t (8g) Granulated Sugar
1 t Kosher Salt
4 c (fill a 1 qt or 1 liter bowl) Slaw Mix or Thin-sliced cabbage
1 carrot, peeled and shredded or grated
4 Green Onions, white and light green only) thin-sliced
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
1 lb Ground Pork
1 clove Garlic, minced
2 tsp minced, fresh Ginger, from 1″ knob
1 tsp (5ml) Sriracha Sauce
1 tsp (5 ml) Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tsp (5ml) Hoisin Sauce
1/2 tsp (3ml) Fish Sauce
1/4 c (small handful) chopped Cilantro leaves
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
4 Burger Buns (I recommend Brioche-style buns, but you can substitute others)

Steps:

  • Mix all the ingredients together. I like to do this in a glass measuring cup, because it's easy to measure the mayo, then just spoon all the other ingredients in and stir. It's then easy to scoop out what you'll need for the slaw, leaving enough for your sandwiches.
  • Set aside.
  • If you're not using pre-packaged "slaw mix": Use a mandolin, sharp knife, or food processor to thin-slice the cabbage. Place it in a bowl, and add grated carrot, and sliced green onion.
  • Using the dressing you made, top the cabbage mixture with all but 1/4 cup (60ml) of the dressing, which you need to reserve as a sandwich spread. Stir it in with the veggies, then sprinkle the 1/2 tsp salt and stir again. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
  • In a large bowl, place the ground pork. Add the minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, Sriracha sauce, Sesame oil, hoisin sauce, Fish sauce, cilantro leaves and salt. Using your hands (or a wooden spoon if you prefer), gently combine all the ingredients together.
  • Form 4 roughly equal sized patties. I like to do this by forming 4 "balls" of meat, then pressing down on each portion. You want to make sure the burgers are kind of firmly together, so they don't fall apart while cooking.
  • Heat a heavy skillet (Cast-iron prefered) over Medium to Medium-High heat until hot, and drizzle about 1 tsp vegetable or olive oil. Set the heat at Medium, and cook the patties 6-8 minutes until done. Internal temp should be 160F.
  • Slather buns with remaining sauce. Add the pork patties and top with slaw and sweet pickles if you like.

Steps:

  • Mix 1/4 cup lime juice and 1 tablespoon each fish sauce and olive oil; season with salt and sugar. Toss half of the dressing with shaved carrots, sliced red onion and cilantro. Lightly mix 6 ounces ground pork with a big pinch of kosher salt. Form into a ball, then shape into a 3/4-inch-thick patty; make an indentation in the center. Preheat a grill to high; brush the grates and burger with canola oil. Season the patty with salt and grill about 4 minutes per side, basting with the remaining dressing. Serve on a roll with mayonnaise, chili sauce and the slaw.
