Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 0.5 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup carrots, shredded
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, chopped green onions, sesame oil, panko breadcrumbs, and the egg. Mix gently until the ingredients are evenly incorporated, but do not overwork the mixture.
Divide the pork mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1.5 cm thick. Place the patties on a plate and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and rice vinegar to create a glaze. Set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet or grill over medium heat. Lightly oil the surface and cook the pork patties for 5-6 minutes on the first side. Flip and brush the cooked side with the glaze.
Cook the second side for an additional 5-6 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the patties reaches 70°C (160°F). Brush the top with more glaze and remove from the heat.
In another small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Sriracha sauce to create a spicy mayo.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster.
Spread a layer of spicy mayo on the bottom bun. Add a pork patty, then top with a few thin slices of cucumber and a small handful of shredded carrots.
Finish by spreading an additional layer of spicy mayo on the top bun and placing it over the toppings to assemble the burger.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite side dish, such as sweet potato fries or an Asian slaw.
