Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground pork
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Burger buns
- 4 slices Pineapple rings
- 1 piece Jalapeños (sliced)
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Honey
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, soy sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Divide the pork mixture into four equal portions and shape each portion into a round patty, about 3/4 inch thick. Make a slight indent in the center of each patty with your thumb to ensure they cook evenly.
Preheat a grill or skillet to medium heat. Lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking.
Cook the pork patties for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and let rest for 2-3 minutes.
While the patties are resting, lightly grill the pineapple rings for 1-2 minutes on each side until they caramelize slightly.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and honey to create the burger sauce.
Assemble the burgers: Spread the honey mayo sauce on the bottom half of each bun, add a lettuce leaf, place the pork patty on top, followed by a grilled pineapple ring, and a few slices of jalapeño. Top with the other half of the bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your sweet and spicy pork burgers!
