Instructions
Mise en Place
- Set up a veggie workstation (chef knife, discard bowl, damp towel, planer, measuring spoons and cups)
- Wash the scallions, cabbages, cilantro.
- Thinly chop the scallions (white and green prts) and place in the meat bowl.
- Chop the cilantro, and grate or chop the cabbages, and place in the coleslaw bowl.
Meat
- Place the ground pork into the bowl with the sliced scallions.
- Using a planer add grated ginger, and minced garlic.
- Add 1/2t each salt and ground lemon pepper and 1T psyllium husk (for fiber).
- Then add sesame oil, mix well, and let stand to marinate, while you make the slaw.
Asian Slaw
- In the bowl with the cilantro, green cabbage and red cabbage add the rice vinegar, tamari, and sriracha sauce and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
- Add a pich of salt and peper, mix well and let it marinate (mixing occastionally while cooking the meat).
Cook
- Form the meat into patties. Grill or fry the patties while toasting the buns. Cook the meat ~4 minutes per side.
Sandwich
- On each toasted bun place a pattie, topped with the slaw. Serve with the sriracha bottle so people can add more if they want.
Notes
Without adding psyllium husks, this dish has a fiber of ~1g, not enough to meet daily requirements. So I just add it with the meat and it gets incorporated with no change to the taste or texture of the burger.
This is a thin burger, not the fat juicy ones, but dense with flavor.
