Ingredients

1 lb. lean ground pork

3 garlic cloves, chopped

2 green onions, chopped

2 teaspoon soy sauce

2 teaspoon peanut or other mild vegetable oil

pinch of sugar

a few drops Tabasco sauce, or a pinch of cayenne pepper

Hoisin sauce

large whole green lettuce leaves – romaine works well

½ cup or so of roasted peanuts, coarsely ground

a handful of cilantro, coarsely chopped

Directions

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.

Looks good...I might add some fish sauce for a saltier note and some ginger. Great idea.

This was a total hit with my neighbors tonight--even had to give out the recipe. I doubled up the garlic because I feel garlic is basically heaven, and make a crumble instead of patties. What a great, CHEAP recipe.
