Ground pork mixed with my favorite Asian-inspired flavors, formed into patties, and resting on a sesame seed bun.
Since I do so much shopping in Chinatown I decided to make a burger showcasing all of my favorite Asian-inspired flavors. Burgers are a very American food so Asian-American burgers might be a better title...oh well for simplicity's sake these are Asian Burgers. These burgers, no matter what you call them, are tasty. They are juicy and spicy and full of flavor.
Asian Pork Burgers
Ingredients:
1 pound ground pork
1 Tbsp minced ginger
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tsp sriracha
1 egg
Mix together all the spices in a large bowl. Add the ground pork and knead/mix to combine thoroughly. I used my hands (with latex gloves for easy cleanup).
Separate into 4 roughly equal sections and form into patties. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Heat a skillet (I used cast iron) over medium heat. Add the patties and cook for 3-5 minutes per side until thoroughly cooked. I added cheese on top of each burger a little before removing from the pan (cheese is optional). Or you could grill these.
Allow the burgers to rest for a minute or so.
I added a little hoisin sauteed bok choy which is optional, you can add any condiment you like or leave plain.
Makes 4 burgers.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
