Ingredients
- Burgers
- 1 pounds ground pork
- 2 large cloves garlic minced
- 2 TBS minced red onion or sweet onion
- 2 TBS scallions sliced thin
- 1 TBS minced ginger
- 2 TBS sesame oil
- 1 TBS soy sauce optional
- Kosher salt & pepper
- 2 TBS chopped parsley or cilantrro
- Salad greens or baby spinach for your burger bun optional
- Ginger Garlic Sauce
- 3 TBS sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 TBS minced ginger
- 1½ TBS rice wine vinegar
- 2 TBS honey
- 1-2 TBS Chili with Garlic Sauce depends on how much you enjoy heat
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch
- Cilantro or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Burgers
- Combine all ingredients together and form into patties.
- They will be wet. It's fine. Allow them to chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Place on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
- When ready to cook, preheat your non-stick skillet or your grill (be sure your grates are clean and oiled prior to igniting the grill).
- Use a small amount of olive or grapeseed oil (1-2 TBS or so) to fry burgers until nicely browned. Lower heat and allow burgers to cook through. Brush liberally with glaze when done. Serve on a roll or simply on a plate with some of the slaw (see notes for recipe).
- While burgers are cooking (or before) Make your Spicy Ginger-Honey Sauce
- In a frying pan with sides, combine sesame oil, garlic and ginger and saute for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add in vinegar, honey and chili with garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Add in cornstarch and whisk until combined and thickened. Taste
Notes
To make a quick Asian-flavored slaw:
Grab a bag of slaw mix (pre-shredded). I like adding thin slices of red cabbage to this. In a small bowl, combine 1 TBS sesame oil, 1 TBS fresh lime juice, 1 TBS soy sauce, 1 TBS honey and salt & pepper. Give it a good toss and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. The burger and glaze are flavorful, so I go super simple and fresh with the slaw. Feel free to make a more complex one if you wish.
