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

Spicy Ginger-Honey Sauce

In a frying pan with sides, combine sesame oil, garlic and ginger and sauté 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

Pork 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 allow the flavors to mingle and the burgers to set.
Place on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
When ready to cook, preheat your non-stick skillet, Blackstone griddle 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 slaw recipe).

Burger Assembly

Use slider rolls or larger buns and place greens on bottom (raw spinach leaves, arugula or your favorite green), top with burger and some additional glaze. Top burger with the slaw and bun top. Enjoy!

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.

Cook time will depend on method as well as size of burgers.
