Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams ground pork
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 4 tablespoons panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, minced garlic, grated ginger, fish sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, chopped red chili, chopped green onions, cilantro, and lime zest.
Add the panko breadcrumbs to the mixture and mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into small, flat patties about 2 inches in diameter. You should have approximately 12-14 patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the patties to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to cook them in batches.
Cook each side for 3-4 minutes or until the patties are golden brown and fully cooked through with no pink in the center.
Remove the cooked patties from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, lime wedges, or a side of jasmine rice.
