ASIAN PORK BURGER



Asian Pork Burger image

I am a big fan of American classics like burgers and pizza, but sometimes you need to push things a little bit and try to come up with something that is a bit different. My wife and I both love Asian food and we love burgers, so one day I got inspired to whip up this recipe. They turned out amazing the first time; you just have to try these. They are so flavorful you can eat them without a bun. I would recommend putting some extra teriyaki sauce on them.

Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ground pork
1 small apple - peeled, cored, and chopped
½ red onion, chopped
½ green or red bell pepper, chopped
¼ cup teriyaki sauce
¼ cup apple cider
1 teaspoon ground ginger
½ cup bread crumbs
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon soy sauce

Steps:

  • Mix the ground pork, apple, onion, bell pepper, teriyaki sauce, apple cider, ground ginger, bread crumbs, black pepper, and soy sauce together in a mixing bowl until evenly combined; shape into 8 patties. Chill the patties in the freezer for 30 minutes so they are not soft when placed on the grill.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook the burgers on the preheated grill until firm, hot, and no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons canola oil or peanut oil
2 tablespoons minced lemongrass (from bottom 3 inches of about 4 stalks)
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps chopped
1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, divided
1 3/4 pounds ground pork shoulder (Boston butt)
2 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
3 teaspoons Asian sesame oil, divided
3/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1/2 cup hoisin sauce*
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1 tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce (such as sriracha)*
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 heads of Bibb lettuce, cored, leaves separated
1 cup matchstick-size strips red bell pepper
1 cup matchstick-size strips peeled carrot
1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add lemongrass and garlic; sauté 2 minutes. Add mushrooms. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; cool in skillet.
  • Place pork in large bowl. Mix in 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, cracked pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt, then fold in mushroom mixture. Using 2 generous tablespoonfuls for each, shape into 18 patties, each about 2 1/4 inches in diameter; arrange on plastic-lined baking sheet.
  • Whisk hoisin sauce, ginger, vinegar, chili sauce, and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 2 teaspoons sesame oil in small bowl for sauce. DO AHEAD: Burgers and sauce can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover separately; chill.
  • Spray grill rack with nonstick spray. Prepare barbecue (medium-high heat ). Grill burgers until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Arrange burgers on platter; set out sauce. Place lettuce, bell pepper, carrot, and cilantro in separate bowls. Serve, allowing guests to wrap burgers in lettuce and add sauce and vegetables as desired.
  • * Available in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets and at Asian markets.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ground pork: For the best flavor and texture, use a combination of ground pork shoulder and ground pork belly. The shoulder will provide leanness, while the belly will add richness and flavor.
  • Season the pork well: Don't be afraid to season the pork liberally. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder will do the trick.
  • Use a light touch when mixing the pork: Overmixing the pork will result in tough burgers. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Form the burgers gently: Again, you don't want to overwork the meat. Form the burgers into patties that are about 3/4-inch thick and 4 inches in diameter.
  • Cook the burgers over medium heat: This will prevent the burgers from drying out. Cook the burgers for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
  • Serve the burgers on your favorite bun: Top the burgers with your favorite toppings, such as lettuce, tomato, onion, and cheese.

Conclusion:

These Asian pork burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. They're perfect for a summer cookout or a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying burger that will be sure to please everyone at your table.
