LEMONGRASS PORK PATTIES WITH VIETNAMESE DIPPING SAUCE
In Vietnam, little pork patties like this are often grilled over charcoal right on the street and diners sit and eat on (now iconic) little plastic stools. You can serve these patties simply wrapped in the lettuce leaves here, as a snack, or over vermicelli noodles, as a larger meal. Whats non-negotiable? Serve with plenty of herbs and the funky, salty, sour, sweet dipping sauce.

Steps:
- For the patties:
- In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together all of the ingredients, then form the mixture into twelve 2-inch patties (about 3/4 inch thick). Arrange the patties on a plate and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, until firm.
- Preheat the grill for at least 10 minutes and set it up to grill over moderately high heat. Oil the grates. Grill the patties until brown grill marks form on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip the patties, then grill for 3 to 4 minutes longer, until cooked through but still juicy.
- For the sauce and assembly:
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk the vinegar with the sugar and water. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with more vinegar or sugar, depending on your taste.
- Arrange the lettuce leaves and herb sprigs on a platter. To serve, wrap the pork patties and herb sprigs in lettuce and dip in the sauc
LEMONGRASS PORK BURGERS
Steps:
- Process 2 shallots, the lemongrass, and the ginger in a food processor until finely ground. Transfer the shallot mixture to a medium bowl. Using your hands, gently combine the shallot mixture, pork, salt, and pepper (do not overwork the meat). Shape into 6 patties. Refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 1 hour (or overnight).
- Preheat the grill to medium-high (if using a charcoal grill, coals are ready when you can hold your hand 5 inches above grill for just 3 to 4 seconds). Brush the grill and the burgers with oil. Grill the burgers, flipping once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Make the salad: Stir together the remaining shallot, lime juice, fish sauce, and chiles in a small bowl. Toss together the shredded lettuce, cilantro, and mint in a medium bowl. Add the dressing; toss.
- To serve, top each burger with some of the salad, then wrap in a Boston lettuce leaf.

Steps:
- Cut the pork into pieces, you can leave it in steak sizes piece, or cut it into thin strips, depending on how much you want the marinade to cover.
- Add sugar, minced garlic, minced shallot, chopped onion, and minced lemongrass to mini chop and blend into a fine texture.
- Add the pepper, soy sauce, fish sauce, and oil and continue to blend.
- Cover the pork with the marinade. I suggest letting it marinate for at least a few hours so it can really soak in the flavors.
- Preheat a grill to medium-high. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked through. You want a good char on this, like they do at the Vietnamese restaurants.
- Remove, allow to sit for a few minutes, and then enjoy!
Tips:
- Use fresh lemongrass: Fresh lemongrass has a more intense flavor than dried lemongrass. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried lemongrass.
- Grind your own pork: Grinding your own pork will give you more control over the texture of your burgers. If you don't have a meat grinder, you can ask your butcher to grind the pork for you.
- Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing the ingredients can make the burgers tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the burgers over medium heat: Cooking the burgers over medium heat will help to prevent them from drying out.
- Don't overcook the burgers: Overcooked burgers will be dry and tough. Cook the burgers for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- Serve the burgers on toasted buns: Toasted buns will help to hold the burgers together and add a little extra flavor.
- Top the burgers with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for lemongrass pork burgers include lettuce, tomato, onion, avocado, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Lemongrass pork burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a summer cookout or a quick weeknight dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make lemongrass pork burgers that are juicy, flavorful, and sure to please everyone at the table.
