Asian Pork Burgers

Main Menu

Asian

2 pounds freshly ground pork

Mix together the following:

2 Tablespoons fish sauce (can be purchased also in most asian sections of supermarket)
1 teaspoon sriracha or other Asian hot chili sauce (can be purchased @ Walmart) (or more to taste!)
2 Tablespoon of Dijon Mustard
3 Tablespoons of chunky peanut butter
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 Tablespoons of chopped Cilantro
1/2 teaspoon ground star anise
1 Egg

Mix the Pork together with marinade - season with salt and pepper - be careful with the salt as the fish sauce is already very salty - With pork patties I take a little piece of the meat and cook in a pan to taste and decide if more salt and/or pepper is needed

These make great Barbecue Burgers or you can saute them in a pan in the kitchen

I like to use some fresh bibb lettuce with a good piece of bread - a baquette would be great

Instead of using Ketchup try making a herb mayonaise with chopped cilantro, Italien parsley, and some Thai basil - mix with 1/2 cup of mayo add some fresh lime juice with some chopped green onions

Fresh Herb Mayonaise

1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil leaves
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 Tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons Italien Parsley
1 Tablespoons fresh lime juice
