East Meets West Vietnamese Pork Burgers
From darbar 17 years ago
- 10 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This is typical of what is becoming known as East/West cuisine, the flavors and ingredients of Asia presented in a Western form. Each bite of these burgers packs a zesty wallop of flavor and texture. Good accompaniments are bland steamed rice or French bread, each of which balances these assertive flavors.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ground pork shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped shopping list
- 2 green onions, chopped shopping list
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce shopping list
- 2 teaspoon peanut or other mild vegetable oil shopping list
- pinch of sugar shopping list
- a few drops Tabasco sauce, or a pinch of cayenne pepper shopping list
- hoisin sauce shopping list
- large whole green lettuce leaves – romaine works well shopping list
- ½ cup or so of roasted peanuts, coarsely ground shopping list
- a handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Mix meat with garlic, onions, soy sauce, peanut oil, sugar and Tabasco or cayenne.
- Form into patties and grill until cooked through.
- Serve each grilled patty spread with hoisin sauce, wrapped in a leaf of lettuce, sprinkled with peanuts and cilantro.
- These are delicious exactly as described, however, you could spread the hoisin sauce inside a pita bread and insert the patties into it along with the lettuce for a more conventional burger experience.
