List of Ingredients
Asian Pork Burgers with Quick Pickled Cucumber
-- For the burgers --
1 pound ground pork
1/3 cup chopped Napa cabbage
1 tablespoon garlic chili sauce (or regular chili sauce)
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped lemongrass
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1 1/4 teaspoons fish sauce
1 1/4 teaspoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
-- For the pickled cucumbers --
1 pound pickling cucumbers, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/3 cup thinly sliced onion
1 tablespoon chopped basil
1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
Recipe
-- For the pickled cucumbers --
Toss the cucumber with the salt in a colander and let drain for about 20-30 minutes.
Add them to a bowl along with all the other pickle ingredients, stir to combine and let the mixture stand at room temperature for about 2 hours (stir every once in a while).
-- For the burgers --
Combine all the listed burger ingredients in a bowl and mix well, using your hands to really get the ingredients evenly distributed.
Shape the mixture into four patties and grill for several minutes per side or until they reach your preferred degree of doneness (they'll cook for a similar length of time as a traditional beef patty).
Serve, topped with mayonnaise and the quick pickled cucumbers, on toasted buns.
