Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground pork
- 50 grams Whole grain breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg white
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 15 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lean ground pork, whole grain breadcrumbs, egg white, finely chopped green onions, chopped fresh parsley, and minced garlic.
Add low-sodium soy sauce, lemon zest, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly using your hands or a spatula until well combined.
Divide the mixture into 8 portions and shape each portion into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Place the pork patties in the skillet and cook them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) as recommended for ground pork.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve the patties hot, pairing them with a fresh salad or whole grain buns for a complete heart-healthy meal.
