Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Lean ground pork
- 1 large Egg white
- 50 grams Whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil cooking spray
- 4 pieces Whole wheat burger buns
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 4 slices Tomato slices
Instructions
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine lean ground pork, egg white, and whole wheat bread crumbs.
Add garlic, green onions, low sodium soy sauce, and black pepper to the pork mixture, and mix until just combined. Do not overwork the meat.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and gently form them into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and lightly coat with olive oil cooking spray.
Place the burgers on the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) and the burgers are cooked through.
Meanwhile, lightly toast the whole wheat burger buns on a separate pan or toaster.
Assemble the burgers by placing the patties on the bottom half of the buns, followed by a lettuce leaf and a slice of tomato.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
