Serve with plenty of herbs and the funky, salty, sour, sweet dipping sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork: Use ground pork with a good fat content, such as 80/20 or 85/15. This will help keep the patties moist and flavorful.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and mint, add a lot of flavor to these patties. If you can't find fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but they won't be as flavorful.
- Don't overmix the meat: Overmixing the meat will make the patties tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Cook the patties over medium heat: Cooking the patties over medium heat will help prevent them from drying out. You can cook them in a skillet on the stovetop or on a grill.
- Serve the patties with the dipping sauce: The dipping sauce is a great way to add flavor and moisture to the patties. You can also serve the patties with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
