Asian Pork Burgers

Ground pork was on sale, and so began the lengthy attempts to try to create different meals from the score. This recipe for Asian Pork Burgers is taken from Food & Wine, and then altered as I needed. The burgers ended up really tasty with lots of onion and sesame flavour.

To make these, you will need:

• 1 lb ground pork
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper

To make the red cabbage slaw, you will need:

• 2 cups of red cabbage, chopped
• 1/2 tsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp white wine vinegar

Of course, you will also need buns, and any fixings, like greens and sriracha.

1. Mix together all the burger ingredients with your hands and form into three 3/4 inch thick patties.

2. Grill the burgers on each side until cooked through. Meanwhile, prepare the cabbage by tossing the ingredients together.

3. Assemble the burger, and enjoy!

I served these burgers topped with sriracha for an extra bit of heat. I also made a salad that I need to recommend. We mix together:

• 4 cups of spring mix greens
• 1/3 cup of crumbled feta
• 1/4 cup of dried cranberries
• 1/4 cup walnut pieces
• 1/4 cup crispy chow mein noodles

Lately, I have been loving the Ginger Sesame dressing by Marzetti for this salad, but we have also tried and loved Renee's Asian Sesame dressing. Happy eating!
