Best Thai Spiced Pork Burgers Recipes

ASIAN STYLE PORK BURGERS

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together. I like to do this in a glass measuring cup, because it's easy to measure the mayo, then just spoon all the other ingredients in and stir. It's then easy to scoop out what you'll need for the slaw, leaving enough for your sandwiches.
• Set aside.
• If you're not using pre-packaged "slaw mix": Use a mandolin, sharp knife, or food processor to thin-slice the cabbage. Place it in a bowl, and add grated carrot, and sliced green onion.
• Using the dressing you made, top the cabbage mixture with all but 1/4 cup (60ml) of the dressing, which you need to reserve as a sandwich spread. Stir it in with the veggies, then sprinkle the 1/2 tsp salt and stir again. Refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
• In a large bowl, place the ground pork. Add the minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, Sriracha sauce, Sesame oil, hoisin sauce, Fish sauce, cilantro leaves and salt. Using your hands (or a wooden spoon if you prefer), gently combine all the ingredients together.
• Form 4 roughly equal sized patties. I like to do this by forming 4 "balls" of meat, then pressing down on each portion. You want to make sure the burgers are kind of firmly together, so they don't fall apart while cooking.
• Heat a heavy skillet (Cast-iron prefered) over Medium to Medium-High heat until hot, and drizzle about 1 tsp vegetable or olive oil. Set the heat at Medium, and cook the patties 6-8 minutes until done. Internal temp should be 160F.
• Slather buns with remaining sauce. Add the pork patties and top with slaw and sweet pickles if you like.

SESAME PORK BURGERS WITH SWEET AND SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• Make the Slaw:
• Whisk mayonnaise, vinegar, Sriracha, sugar, and 1 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Transfer about 1/4 cup dressing to a small bowl; set aside.
• Add cabbage and scallions to remaining dressing and toss to evenly coat. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and chill both the salad and dressing until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead: Dressing and slaw can be made 8 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
• Make the Burgers:
• Using your hands or a wooden spoon, mix pork, garlic, Sriracha (if using), sesame oil, fish sauce, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl until well combined.
• Shape pork mixture into 4 patties, slightly larger in diameter than English muffins (about 4").
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium. Working in batches if necessary, fry patties until browned on both sides and cooked through, 6-8 minutes.
• Spread reserved dressing on muffins. Place a patty on bottom halves. Season with salt and pepper. Pile on some slaw, pickles, and cilantro, then close muffins. Serve with remaining slaw alongside.
• Do Ahead: Patties can be made 1 day ahead. Separate with parchment if stacking. Cover and chill, or freeze up to 1 month.
