Time 31m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 pound ground pork
1 shallot, minced
1 stalk lemongrass (outer husk removed), sliced paper thin
1 tablespoon fish sauce
A dash Asian five-spice powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
French bread, for serving
Lettuce, for serving
Pickled Vegetables, for serving, recipe follows
Cilantro Mayonnaise, for serving, recipe follows
10 radishes, thinly slices
5 to 7 carrots, julienned
1 cup rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
Dash sugar
Salt
1 bunch cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
1 cup mayonnaise

Steps:

Add all ingredients into a large bowl and mix to thoroughly combine. Form 4 ounce patties and grill until well done. Place 2 patties into lightly toasted soft French bread cut with a hinge along with lettuce, a generous helping of Pickled Vegetables, and Cilantro Mayonnaise.
Place the sliced vegetables into 1 cup rice wine vinegar mixed with hot sauce, a dash of sugar, and a dash of salt. 15 minutes in the vinegar should leave the vegetables with a nice crunch. They can be left in the vinegar for an indefinite amount of time, however. The vinegar can be saved and used again later.
Simply mix the chopped cilantro with the mayonnaise.
