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.

The Banh Mi Burger image

I'm combining my favorite sandwich with my other favorite sandwich to create my new favorite sandwich. If, that is, you consider a burger a sandwich, which I do. But forget about the burger, because no matter what kind of meat you use for your sandwich, learning how to make a banh mi version of it, is something everyone should know how to do.

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.

4 ounces raw shrimp, finely diced
2 cups fish sauce
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup yellow Thai curry paste
1/2 cup lime juice
1 teaspoon pureed ginger
1 teaspoon turmeric
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 stalks lemongrass, thinly sliced on the bias

2 ounces kaffir lime leaves, finely diced (substitute 1 tablespoon lime juice)
3 sprigs fresh Thai basil, leaves only, torn
3 sprigs fresh mint, leaves only, torn

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 curry aioli: Combine the mayo, sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, curry powder, ginger juice, Sriracha and turmeric and whisk until smooth. Set aside and chill.
  • 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.

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup matchstick-cut carrot
1/2 cup matchstick-cut daikon radish
1/2 cup matchstick-cut cucumber
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
4 pork, burgers (PC Thick and Juicy Smoky Seasoned)
1/3 cup sriracha mayonnaise
4 brioche buns, split and toasted
1 cup torn fresh cilantro (leaves and tender stems)

Steps:

  • Preheat barbecue to medium heat.
  • Toss together carrot, daikon, cucumber and vinegar in bowl to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, brush grill with oil. Grill burgers, lid down, flipping once, until grill-marked and cooked through; 14 to 15 minutes. Transfer to plate. Let rest 2 minutes.
  • Spread sriracha mayo onto cut sides of buns. Top bottom halves with burgers, carrot mixture and cilantro, dividing evenly. Sandwich with top halves of buns.
  • Chef's tip: Matchstick-cut is another term for julienned, and it refers to veggies that have been sliced into thin strips. The easiest way to achieve this is to shave the veggies into strips with a mandolin, then stack and slice with a knife into matchstick-size pieces.
