How to Make Asian Pork Burgers
- In a large bowl, combine 500g pork mince, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup finely chopped onion, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup Asian BBQ sauce (your favorite!), and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
- For easier chopping, use a food processor to finely chop the onion and garlic (optional).
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the patties tough.
- Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions and shape them into patties, about 1-inch thick.
- Heat a grill pan or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil (vegetable or canola).
- Cook the patties for 4-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
- Serve immediately on toasted burger buns with your favorite toppings such as shredded lettuce, sliced tomatoes, pickled ginger, and extra Asian BBQ sauce. Enjoy!
- Alternatively, serve the burgers over a bed of fresh salad for a lighter meal.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
