Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef chuck
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon five-spice powder
¼ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha
2 French sandwich rolls
½ cup julienned carrot
½ cup julienned daikon radish
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
8 thin slices English cucumber
2 tablespoons sliced jalapeno pepper, or to taste
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, or to taste

Steps:

  • Combine beef, fish sauce, soy sauce, freshly ground black pepper, and 5-spice powder in a bowl, and mix until evenly combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled.
  • Mix mayonnaise, hoisin, and Sriracha together in a small bowl for sauce. Keep chilled until needed.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil.
  • Cut open rolls, remove about 1/2 of the inside crumb, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake rolls in the preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, using damp hands, shape beef mixture into two burger patties sized to match your rolls or buns. Keep in the refrigerator until needed.
  • Combine carrots and daikon radish in a bowl. Add rice vinegar and toss to coat. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Preheat a charcoal grill to high heat.
  • Cook burgers over the hot coals until desired doneness is reached and they spring back to the touch, turning as needed, about 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the centers should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
  • Slather toasted buns with mayo mixture. Place cucumbers and jalapeno slices on bottom of rolls, and top with cooked burgers. Top with carrot-radish mixture and cilantro.

BANH MI BURGERS



Banh Mi Burgers image

I whipped up these burgers for a weekend meal after a Saturday morning visit to the farmer's market. A peek in the fridge told me I had baby cukes to use. They aren't traditional, but they were a hit and instantly became a favorite with the hubby and me. Burgers can also be cooked on the stovetop. Grilling will add a nice flavor, and I prefer charcoal for a nice smoky finish.

1 teaspoon turmeric
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

4 sweet bread buns
8 slices cured pork loaf*
8 ounces green leaf lettuce
1/2 cup julienned carrots
1/2 cup julienned daikon

Steps:

  • For the patties: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pork, beef and shrimp. Do not over mix as this will cause the proteins to become sticky. Portion into four 7-ounce burger patties and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to use.
  • For the banh mi marinade: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the fish sauce and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add the curry paste and whisk until it's completely broken up. Add the lime juice, ginger, turmeric, garlic, lemongrass, chile, shallot, lime leaves, basil and mint and mix well.

  • For the nuoc mam sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk the sugar and hot water until dissolved. Add the fish sauce, vinegar, garlic and chile and mix well.
  • To assemble: Preheat a grill to medium to medium-high heat. Dip the patties into the banh mi marinade and grill to desired doneness. During the grilling process, continue to dip the patties in the marinade to form a flavorful crust on the outside of the patties.
  • Grill or toast the buns. Next, grill the pork loaf slices about 2 minutes on each side.
  • Place a burger patty on the bottom bun followed by 2 slices pork loaf. Add 1 teaspoon curry aioli, and then the carrots and daikon. Finish with the lettuce and the top bun. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve the nuoc mam on the side as a dipping sauce.

BANH MI



Banh Mi image

A Vietnamese sandwich, made with chicken and full of pickled vegetables. My husband works around a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, and I was making him bring me home these tasty sandwiches. Finally I attempted to make one, and found that my recipe was even better than the restaurants, mainly because I used chicken breast and fresher ingredients. I also love the pickled vegetables, so I made sure there was plenty of those.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 15

½ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup carrot, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
¼ cup white (daikon) radish, cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
¼ cup thinly sliced white onion
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast half
garlic salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1 (12 inch) French baguette
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup thinly sliced cucumber
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves
1 small jalapeno pepper - seeded and cut into 1/16-inch-thick matchsticks
1 wedge lime

Steps:

  • Place rice vinegar, water, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat, bring to a boil, and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 1 minute. Allow the mixture to cool.
  • Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the carrot, radish, and onion in a bowl, and allow to stand for at least 30 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar mixture after the vegetables have marinated.
  • While the vegetables are marinating, preheat the oven's broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source. Lightly oil a slotted broiler pan.
  • Sprinkle the chicken breast with garlic salt and pepper, and broil on slotted broiler pan, turning once, until the center of the chicken breast is no longer pink and the surface has browned, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the broiled chicken, and slice into bite-size pieces.
  • Slice the baguette in half the long way, and pull the center of the bread out of the baguette halves, leaving a cavity for the filling. Place the baguette halves under the broiler to lightly toast, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • To assemble the bahn mi sandwich, spread each half of the toasted baguette with mayonnaise, and fill the cavity of the bottom half of the bread with broiled chicken, cucumber slices, pickled carrot, onion, and radish, cilantro leaves, and jalapeno pepper. Squeeze a wedge of lime over the filling, and top with the other half of the baguette.
