Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g ground pork
- 50 g panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional, for heat)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 4 pieces burger buns
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 8 slices sliced tomato
- 4 tablespoons mayo (optional, for serving)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, panko breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Form the mixture into 4 equal-sized patties, about 1.5 cm thick. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, maple syrup, and sriracha (if using) to create the glaze.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Add the pork patties and cook for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until browned.
Flip the patties and brush the cooked side generously with the soy-maple glaze. Cook the second side for another 4-5 minutes.
Flip the patties one more time, brush the second side with the glaze, and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring the patties are fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the patties from the skillet and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Lightly toast the burger buns, if desired.
Assemble the burgers by spreading mayo (if using) on the bottom half of each bun. Layer with a lettuce leaf, sliced tomato, and a sticky soy and maple pork patty. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
